Level Four Improv: Creating Characters in the Moment

Students will explore a number of techniques towards the aspirational goal of character agility: being able to create various living-and-breathing characters - imbued with emotion, perspective, attitude, and physicality. Building on the emotional content work of the previous level, students will work to create characters with driving passions and objectives and learn to react honestly from these strong character choices. This class includes a student showcase. The prerequisite for this class is completion of Level Three Improv* at Stomping Ground.

• Finding Character Physicality, Attitude, and Voice
