Course overview:
In this course, students will learn to be present, connect with their fellow actors and use the power of improvisation to create dynamic and engaging scenes.
Through practical exercises, students will be guided step-by-step toward becoming more instinctual and brave actors. They will understand and apply the basic rules of improvisation – such as making specific and detailed offers, accepting and not-blocking offers, endowing people, places and things with qualities – and most importantly, they will become generous actors who react to, and support their fellow actors every step of the way.
The last class of the term is an open performance to family and friends where students can showcase their improvisation skills during a series of activities. Audience involvement is highly encouraged!
Students will be lead by energetic and passionate teachers whose first goal is to create a supportive, fun and dynamic learning environment. Students will be encouraged to be free, playful and thoughtful actors and each class is designed to awaken students to the power of their own voices and bodies.
