IMPROV PERFORMANCE INTENSIVE
You've taken several levels of classes and now want to put your improv chops to the test. In this class, we'll dive into structuring a narrative improv show, researching and adapting a genre, and bringing powerful relationships to the forefront of our performance. This class provides an opportunity to experience the rehearsal process for performing a one act improvised play, culminating with a free performance for an invited audience of your friends, fans and family-members on the last day of class!
Each class session will focus on a different genre. See below for the show we'll be rehearsing and a brief blurb:
September-October Class
Improvised Slasher: A Spontaneous Camp Horror. A weekend getaway at a secluded lakeside cabin turns into a gruesome nightmare as a group of pals are hunted and picked off one by one by an insane psycho maniac!
