Learn the Art of Improvising with a Story Structure!
About this Event

About the Class: Combine the power of storytelling with the magic of improv in this six-week elective class. Participants will learn how to harness the power of the Story Spine to build rich narratives in the form of a fully-improvised one-act play. The class will show how to build detailed characters and use narrative structures to explore comedy and drama on the stage. We will delve into genre possibilities to open up a whole new world of improv at the conclusion of this class. This class requires students to have completed LIP's Improv 201 or Artistic Director approval! Students must be 18 or older for this class!

This Class will run Mondays from 7pm-9pm on the following dates: 3/30, 4/6, 4/13, 4/20, 4/27, and 5/4. This class has a class show on Friday 5/9 at 5pm! Ticket sale ends at noon on Saturday 3/28!
