Improv 102: Building Relationships
This 6-week course is a continuation of the fundamentals of improvisational comedy. Through active listening and responding, agreeing to play, and ultimately establishing characters’ relationships, students will explore the fun of using relationships to create more satisfying and funny scenes.
 
Good for beginners or those with some experience, classes will focus on:
  • Types of relationships, hierarchies, statuses
  • Focusing on listening intently, reacting, and agreeing to play.
 
As well as reinforcing the basics of improv:
  • The “Yes, and" principle, and “if this is true, what else is true”
  • Making bold choices
  • Staying committed throughout the scene
  • Enhancing acting skill with emotions and physicality
