About this Event

About this Class:

Over 8 weeks, you will explore one of improv's most popular and foundational performance forms, the Monoscene.

The monoscene is an entire longform improv show set in one location, in real time. No jumps, no edits, no cuts, no escape from the choices you make. The monoscene can be one of the most rewarding improv formats as you get to explore characters and relationships with real depth, like a great play. This class is designed for moderate to experienced improvisers looking to dive deep into patient play focusing on character development and relationships. You’ll build the skills to sustain tension, craft memorable characters, and learn to let things breathe.

Each class session will run from 7:00pm-9:00pm ET, with optional time available after class to discuss and debrief.

Class will run for 8 weeks from January 9th through February 27th, and we'll have a student showcase on March 4th.

Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Improv Level 2 or equivalent training at another theatre (reach out if you have questions).

This class is in-person, but Highwire Improv also offers online classes - check out our page for other offerings!

About your instructor:

David Lustig (he/him) has been consistently performing improv for over 20 years, and performing good improv for about 10. He has been described as "the loudest boy in all of improv." He loves to get technical about improv theory and play slowly and patiently with a focus on character and relationship. David is a founding member of Baltimore's longest-running indie team, Local Spot, as well as a member of the BIG house team Owl Legs, BIG Time, and DM/co-director for Tabletop Live, among others. The monoscene is his one true love, and he will evangelize Camp Improv Utopia to anyone who will listen.
