Improv Class 401: Forms Focus

How can you use your improv knowledge to embellish stories and explore themes in a full performance? Forms can help! Learning more about them allows you to employ structural guidelines to string scenes together in a longer show. This course will teach you the basics of three forms - Armando, Close Quarters, & Monoscene. You can use them to find your own improv style and structure. W e'll spend two weeks on each form, so you'll be able to understand their unique characteristics. You'll also develop your ability to support your scene partners and use devices to further scene premise, narrative, and game.

Improv 401 is open to anyone that has had at least three levels of improv classes. It consists of eight two-hour classes on Wednesdays (April 8, 15, 22, & 29 and May 6, 13, 20, & 27) from 6 pm to 8 pm at Big Couch's Bywater location at 1045 Desire Street, New Orleans, LA 70117. At the culmination of the course, attendees will put on an evening improv show on Thursday, June 4 at 8pm.
