Advanced Improv Performance Lab is designed for experienced improv artists looking to continue developing their craft. We’ll be placing an emphasis on acting for the theatre combined with a rich exploration of improvisational theatre forms and practices.
Moving beyond simple games, the ensemble will explore genres and narrative structures, enabling them to create spontaneous theatre with rich, fully developed characters that celebrate the human condition. We’ll create an ensemble whose goal is to present professional level, improvisational theatre performances, providing students opportunities to learn about branding and marketing an improv ensemble, with the goal of appearing at improv festivals and theaters. We’ll also explore Applied Improvisation in business and educational settings.
Prerequisites: Beginning Improv, Intermediate Improv, and two cycles of Improv Performance Lab. Commensurate experience will also be considered.
