Scenework is the main element of long form improvisation. If you think of an improvised show as a house, scenes are the rooms. In a well designed house each room serves a purpose, is well built and relates to the whole. When we create shows we want them to be well made in order to please our audience. Since long form shows are mostly made up of scenes, doing good shows means creating scenes that are consistently interesting and fun to watch.
Creating a good scene is also extremely rewarding. Ask any improviser and they’ll tell you – you never get tired of doing good scenes. Playing a scene well can give you a boost that carries you though the week. Yes, it’s that satisfying.
In this class we’ll start looking at scenework in the context of long form shows. We’ll explore essential elements like how to start scenes well, how to use character and point of view and how to discover and play games. We’ll also start to look at how scenes relate to each other within a piece and learn how to connect them together.
Scenework is the essence of the long form improviser’s craft. Come on. Let’s get to work. It’s going to be fun.
This class is capped at 10 students for more individual attention. Prerequisite: Improvisational Theatre I (Formerly known as Improv for the Actor)
