Suitable for Intermediate Level and above.
Learn exercises that prioritise vulnerability over defensiveness; a
concept of improv that seems easy on paper but can be difficult to put
into practice.
A stumbling block for improvisers is the natural
inclination to try to “fix” or “change” partners; consequently, scenes
can struggle with lack of focus on “owning” our choices/wants/POV.
Learn how to balance the “weird” and “normal” in scenework, as too much
(or not enough) of one of these elements and the audience will struggle
to connect with what we’re creating.
There will also be focus on
decision-making (“What is this scene about?” and “What kind of scene is
this?”) and how to communicate that information to our scene partners.
