Class Description: Learn to do intermediate level improv scenes. "Organic" means doing scenes just off of a suggestion. This is game-of-the-scene style improv, but without an opening. It means starting from nothing. You will use strategies like: confessions, gifting, real life inspirations, framing to build small decision into grand scenes. You will also learn things like the gentle yes, voice of reason and justification to learn more about a scene as it is happening. This is the stepping stone to doing great scenes with zero set up.
