Improv Class: 301 - Inside the Scene

If you've ever wondered how improvisers make their performances look like they are scripted, then you'll want to take a deeper dive into scenework. From inside the scene, you can make choices that take you off in one direction or other choices to head off in another. This course will help you identify and play through the game of a scene, establish and follow patterns, understand scene types, and use devices. You'll also elevate your ability to support your scene partners and scene premises and how to ask for and use audience suggestions. All of this will take your ability to co-create in the moment to the next level.

Improv 301 is open to anyone that has had at least two levels of improv classes. It consists of eight two-hour classes on Tuesdays (September 17 & 24, October 1, 8, 15, 22, & 29, and November 5 ) from 6 to 8 pm pm at Big Couch's Bywater location - 1045 Desire Street, New Orleans, LA 70117. At the culmination of the course, attendees will put on an evening improv show on Thursday, November 14.

A registration fee of $200 will cover all eight sessions, and scholarships are available to those who identify as Black/African American, Indigenous, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian American Pacific Islander, LGBTQIA+, and/or disabled, as well for those whom English is their second language.
