How to create more vibrant, engaging characters by exploring motivation
How to present a more compelling scene to the audience by thinking about stage presence, blocking, and projection
How to perform dramatic (in addition to comedic) scenes
How to play additional short-form improv games and long-form formats

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

Improvise scenes and long-form sets that take character development into account
Run scenes together in montages lasting 15-20 minutes
