This class will work towards creating fully improvised 30 minute plays. Rather than focusing on the tropes of specific genres we will focus on acting and basic dramatic structure. As in a monoscene the comedy will come from clear character Games but these multi-scene plays will also be built around the characters’ objectives, obstacles and actions. Although the plays will almost always be funny we’ll make emotional honesty and commitment the priority. The class will culminate with us improvising two mind-blowing one-act plays live on YouTube. Some outside of class preparation will be required.

Five weeks of two-hour classes, plus two class shows. This is the introductory course. We go over the "game of the scene" approach to improv. Base reality, unusual thing, heightening, saying why. Also "fool" vs "voice of reason" roles. Class show: scenes inspired by a monologue

One long scene. The monoscene emphasizes grounded play, point of view, having relationships and histories with character as well as having good unusual things. Class show: a monoscene
