Improv Level 3: Advanced Scene Dynamics w/ Tej Khanna (Jan-Feb) (Wednesdays)
Improv Level 3: Advanced Scene Dynamics w/ Tej Khanna (Jan-Feb) (Wednesdays)
Advanced Scenes
This class is limited to 16 students.
This class builds on the skills in Level 2, teaching students to be versatile ensemble players who can build long-form pieces organically while keeping the show and audience's experience in mind. By layering more complicated improv techniques and awareness onto already fearless play, students will learn how to authentically ground characters so they feel believable and use curve balls to keep scenes surprising. We’ll explore the dynamics that make up three-person and group scenes and how to augment and balance multiple points of focus onstage. And we’ll learn to stay out of our heads while balancing it all.
In addition to learning advanced techniques, this class will encourage you to lean into the areas you shy away from and own what makes you unique as a performer through personal notes and individual challenges.
This class culminates in a performance for the public.
