Spring Forward Improv Workshop: Dynamics of Absurdity in Scenes

Spring is here, and Stomping Ground is rolling out a brand new workshop series to help you spring forward as an improviser and performer!

Each week, one of our instructors will dig into a topic or skill of their choosing! Students will refresh their improvisational toolbelt and add new tools to make their scenes both memorable and engaging for an audience. This class is recommended for students with some improv experience. The prerequisite for these workshops is Level Three Improv at Stomping Ground or the equivalent at another training center with permission from the Training Center Director.

This week's topic is Dynamics of Absurdity in Scenes

Finding and playing the absurdity of the scene can be enjoyable for both the audience and the improviser and understanding the different possible dynamics between the normal and the absurd can keep us from going to Crazytown! This week’s Spring Forward drop-in class will focus on finding and playing the specific absurdity of the scene, whether it’s a straight/absurd character dynamic or two grounded characters in an absurd world. Students will practice playing these different kinds of dynamics intentionally and then identifying and playing them in a montage of scenes.

This one session drop-in class is held Sunday, April 13th from 6-8:30pm The instructor is Greg Mihalik. Price of class does not include Eventbrite's service fee (3.7% + $1.79) and payment processing fee (2.9%) which will be added to the total price at checkout. All students must adhere to policies in the Stomping Ground Student Handbook. Must be 18 years or older.
