This class series will feature improv games that activate the improviser's mindset and focus on developing skills and techniques that can are then available for scene work. We will play games that promote a shift into creative flow and the capacity to find inspiration in anything, focus on finding the fun or unusual element to a character or relationship dynamic between characters in scenes, and strengthen the skill to deepen and play with the tensions in a scene that are similar to the tensions in a game. We do not know how it is going to turn out, and here are there for all of it.
