Performance Intensive Class

Five intensive nights of learning formats and rehearsing an improv performance with your classmates. On the 6th night, a show at the theatre. This is a concentrated class schedule, and you would be expected to make all five classes plus the show.

Take what you’ve learned in 101, Fundamentals, etc., and apply it as a member of a pop-up improv ensemble. We’ll cover short form games, a simple long-form format, best practices for introducing/emceeing a show. We’ll also pay attention to stagecraft–you will learn techniques of being effective on stage in any performance format, improv or not. Students will receive individualized feedback. This class will be both fun and, as the name suggests, intense!

PREREQUISITE: FUNDAMENTALS OR EQUIVALENT: If you have studied elsewhere, consult with instructor before registering. THIS IS NOT a beginner class.
