This course puts the fun in fundamentals! Learning improvisation or how to “create on the spot” gives young actors an active understanding of the ‘who, what, when and where’ of acting. While most acting training is based on conflict and opposing objectives, improvisation develops supportive, collaborative actors. In improvisation impulses are accepted and expanded upon, not rejected or stifled. Using the wonderful theater games of Viola Spolin and Keith Johnstone, actors learn to listen, work creatively, and build responsive, fearless physical and imaginative instruments.
Taught by members of outstanding, award-winning performance improv companies.
