Summer Improv Workshop Lab: Digging Deeper and Finding Themes

Improv is a multifaceted comedic art form with many different approaches to create a fun and successful scene! Spend the summer digging into a new topic every Sunday or choose those that challenge and inspire you as an improviser!

Each week, one of our community members, performers, and aspiring teachers will offer a brand new workshop on a topic of their choice, digging deeper into many of the skills found in our core improv program or exploring aspects of performance not usually covered. These brand new workshops are a chance for aspiring teachers to sharpen their skills and experiment in subjects they are passionate for and for students to experience new perspectives in improv.

This class is recommended for students with some improv experience and who have completed at least Level Two Improv at Stomping Ground or the equivalent training including improvised scene work.

This Week's Topic is: Digging Deeper and Finding Themes

This workshop will focus on using themes to dig deeper in improvised scenes instead of going wider. Students will practice using openings and games that develop one central idea, using these ideas to inspire scenes, as well as finding the theme of a given scene and then expanding it throughout longer pieces. Students will also explore common themes often found in improv and how to apply these to other improvisational styles such as short form and narrative.
