SUMMER SAMPLER: THE IMPROVISOR'S TOOLKIT WITH ALFRED CHOW
SPECIAL WORKSHOP: THE IMPROVISOR’S TOOLKIT: ESSENTIALS FOR STRONGER SCENES (WITH ALFRED CHOW)
About This Workshop: Do you sometimes find your scenes caught in patterns that prevent them from reaching their full potential? This workshop is all about providing specific tools that address the biggest reasons that improv scenes don’t flourish as they should. Students will learn how to better: discover their character’s point of view, support their scene partner, navigate scenes with confusing structure, provide grounding to absurd scenes, make clearer initiations, and apply greater variety to scenes.
Prerequisites: Improv Foundation 3 or equivalents.
