Improvised Shakespeare 101 With Renee!
About this Event
About the Class: Love. Jealousy. Betrayal. Ambition. Shakespeare used powerful emotions to tell timeless stories that still captivate audiences today–and you can too! Learn the building blocks of improvised Shakespeare including language patterns, narrative devices, and character archetypes to create a larger-than-life Shakespearean comedy on the spot. This class will add techniques to your improv toolkit to use in improvised Shakespeare and beyond. This class requires students to have completed LIP's Improv 201 or Artistic Director approval. Students must be 18 or older for this class.
