Comedy is at its best when it comes from a place of honesty and vulnerability. In this class, we will learn the basics of how to create improvised scenes with a partner that are rooted in emotional honesty. These basics stem from the work of Del Close and his “Yes, and” approach to honing one’s performative craft – whether for acting, comedy, or even day-to-day conversation – through improvisation.
Iowa native, Madeline Maser, has been working and teaching in Chicago, New York City, and Phoenix for the past 10 years, and she has brought her knowledge and experience back to Des Moines. Her background in art, design, and stage improv gives her a unique perspective and wealth of experience.
