This class is for anyone looking to embark on an epic improv adventure
where scenes and stories will be created out of thin air. Through scene work we will:
- Learn the super hero mantra of "Yes, and" ! No cape required.
- Dive headfirst in the fundamentals of active listening, agreement, scene initiation and group mind!
- Become the ninja of spontaneous wit and the Jedi of lightning-fast thinking!
- Crank up the confidence, positivity and creativity !
- Have more FUN than a barrel of monkeys at a banana buffet!
This workshop is the first part improv curriculum at The NEGATIVE and your first step towards creating hour long shows using the most famous long form format called "Harold". Everything taught in this workshop will serve as a building block for higher level workshops, leading our way up to Harold.
There is no experience required of any sorts. Just bring yourself ready to play.
