Improv Acting I is a class for beginning improvisors
who would like to get serious about improvisational acting. This class takes
you onstage to begin experimenting with characters and scenes.

In this class, you'll begin to delve deeper into improv vocabulary/rules
and play more focused improv games to get you into scenework. Onstage, you'll
begin to play with creating characters and scenes.

Improv Acting I addresses the basic skills of improv
acting onstage, including the following:

  • Making offers and saying "Yes And…!"
  • Exercising your confidence, concentration, and spontaneity
  • Saying the first thing that comes to mind and not worrying about
    being clever
  • Being present and connected with your partners
  • Not worrying about being wrong (and accepting failure)
  • Making up stories
  • Supporting and being connected with your partners
  • Playing with status
  • Endowing yourself and your partner
  • Creating objects and locations out of thin air
  • Seeing what your partner sees

This class is open by invitation of the instructor or to those who have
successfully completed the "Improv
FUNdamentals" course material.
