Improv Level 03 (Tue)
with Kristin Henn
Advanced Scene Work
Prerequisite: must have taken a Level 2 improv class at ColdTowne
Strong group work, or “group mind,” is the focus of Level 3, where students take a deeper look at their scenework and begin to create shows that are more than just a montage of disconnected scenes. While continuing to strengthen and build on the lessons of past levels, various storytelling techniques and other skills are introduced to help students go from improvising a single scene to creating an entire longform improv show. This class includes a student performance!
