Details
### Better scenes and short form games
Take your improv skills to the next level! In this 12-week course, you’ll expand your improvisation toolbox with a variety of scene-based and short-form games that go deeper into storytelling, character work, and emotional truth. This course is designed for improvisers who already have stage experience and are ready to explore more nuanced and theatrical aspects of improv.
Over the course, you’ll learn how to perform a show of improvised games and scenes using a mix of formats, including open scenes without clear structure. You'll develop stronger acting skills to make your scenes more grounded, believable, and engaging for an audience.
