Details
Improvisation is a technique that many of us have used at one point or another whether on or off stage. This workshop will help you understand short-form improv as a technique that frees you from the fear of the unknown.
Through three major improv styles: game based, organic and narrative, you will be taught exercises created by the founders of Improvisation - Viola Spolin, Del Close, and Keith Jonstone. The workshop is designed to aid your confidence, how you think, speak and do off the cuff and your problem solving skills.
Over the course of eight weeks, you will learn the brief historical contextualisation of several improv concepts, practise some systematic exercises and understand the craft through videos of interviews and performances. You will also discover the underlying principles that help an improv scene come together.
Within the three improv styles, there will be an emphasis on the story-telling approach. Through various exercises, you will be given the chance to try out different types of improvisation exercises while having the constant support of a scene director.
The workshop culminates in the students preparing for two directed improv formats:
- The Micetro, licensed by Keith Johnstone.
- The Match, invented by Robert Gravel and unlicensed.
