About this Event

"The best way to find more honesty and depth in improvisational work is through repetition. In this advanced workshop, we will continue making moment-to-moment responses more habitual. Pursuing wants in a variety of ways will be another focus. Applying these good practices to scenes that involve more than two performers allows for exploring more generosity and fuller stories. And lastly, finding our way toward strong endings sparks satisfaction for the performer and the audience. We will work on all these techniques, with care and respect, in the advanced version of this helpful class," Cynthia Lair.

Pick up where you left off in Cynthia's Acting for Improvisers in this Advanced class. Designed for students who studied with Cynthia, continue refining your acting skills as an improviser in Advanced Acting for Improvisers.
