Organic Initiations and Game: Improv masterclass with Michael Busch

About: When it comes to longform improvisation, how you start is important. If you put in the work up top, you won’t find yourself struggling to invent things later on. In this workshop we will focus on:

• Organic initiations and discovering an unusual/funny thing in a scene to build upon with your scene partner
• POV/Justification
• Patterns/Playing the game of the scene - heightening from the first unusual/funny thing

This is a 3 hour masterclass.

Prerequisties: Intermediate to advanced improv training. For example, students who completed Level 2 of Hashtag's curriculum are fit for this class.
