"This Scene Was About" is a format born in Bogotà, Colombia, in 2017, created by Italian improviser Favio Maccioni, in an intensive workshop, where the focus was "emotional mirroring" and "reading scenes as a gift". Says Favio: “The format is a combination between these two beautiful things in improv.”

Like many things in improv, the simplicity of this format is also its strength, leading to connections both obvious and surprising.

I very much like the simplicity, emotion and ensemble work it takes to do this format. I think you will too.

We’ll work on the advanced basics of open scenework skills:- clarity and energy- “entry points” into scenes- staging and movement elements of scenework- characters- playing in a way that is grounded, real-to-life- variety!At the end of class, we’ll do a performance of “This Scene Was About”
