Our Coaches:
Our classes are taught by professional, agency-represented actors who live in Jacksonville and work regionally (Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Savannah, Miami, Nashville, and Knoxville) on paid bookings in film, theater, commercials, and television. Additionally, many of our instructors are multi-disciplined, meaning that besides being highly trained and skilled in improv, they have also trained in acting, music, singing, dance, and more!What You'll Learn:
- A thorough understanding of what improvisational theater really is and what skills one must have to be skilled in this discipline (in short, a debunking of the many assumptions carried by the majority)
- The basics of unrehearsed acting, learning how to develop a point of view, pursue an emotional agenda, give and take focus, pinpoint an objective, and of course “yes and…”.
- A working understanding of narrative storytelling and how to confidently tell a story in a three-act structure as an ensemble
- How to exercise the analytical side of the brain to focus on simple goals; freeing the creative side and silencing the negative thoughts that can make us freeze during a performance (or in life, for that matter).
- Incorporating unrehearsed acting and cooperative direction into improv games, exercises, and scenes
- How to effectively and instinctually communicate what you want (say what you mean and mean what you say) and articulate how you feel in any given moment (i.e., scene or performance)
- How to get out of your head, think on your feet, articulate your ideas clearly, and make bold choices
- How to ease nerves and “stage fright” jitters with relaxation techniques so you can refine your public speaking skills
