Beginner Improv Theater with Zach Klebaner
Advertisement
No experience necessary!
About the workshop
This workshop introduces key elements of improv theater including agreement, setting, joke, justification, and relationship. Improvisers initially construct an average, non-humorous setting – defined by the assembly of location, relationship, and event – that is later inverted by an unusual pattern that forms the joke of the scene. Your actors will learn how to improvise scenes without a script or outline using the following three principles:
1. Always agree and add
2. Have a reason for everything your character does and say it out loud
3. Frame whatever the other actor is doing like it’s a picture
Improvisational acting can boost self-esteem, promote confidence in public speaking, ease anxiety in social interactions, promote team building and cohesion, and other valuable leadership skills.
Ages 7+ are welcome to sign up! Family teams are encouraged to register together (Parents + children, siblings, etc.) to enhance the fun and laughter!
Where: CREATE Community Cape St. Claire: 1087 Poplar Tree Drive, Annapolis, MD 21409 (In the basement art studio)
