About this Event
“How is my partner being with me right now?”
Asking yourself this simple question, and allowing your point of view to inform your choices, will help take your improv from good to great. With your attention on your partner, you don’t have the headspace for the self-doubt and second-guessing that often plague even the most experienced improvisers. In this six-week course, we will be applying the principles of the Meisner Technique to long-form improv, giving you practical ways to approach scenes so that you feel a consistent sense of ease, playfulness, freedom, and connection. Sign up for Meisner-based long-form to get out of your head and into the moment!
