Wednesdays, July 21 - August 4, 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (three sessions total)This class will be conducted online via video conferencing. Participants must have a reliable Internet connection and a computer or device with a webcam and microphone.
Focus 1: Building Character. We will create new, spontaneous characters using emotions as the building blocks. Emotions have mental and physical touchstones which help to fill out every aspect of a character from mindset to mannerisms.
Focus 2: Imitation As Inspiration. Often the most intimidating aspect of comedy performance is the concept of impersonations. Rather than promoting literal mimicry, exploring once unapproachable character types opens one's range of expression.
Focus 3: Character Fun & Games. We end the session with games incorporating the skills covered in previous meetings. The games covered in this final class are the often used "party games" that a student can take away with them.
Prerequisite: Beginning Improv or permission from instructor and principal
