Creating a collaborative improvised story is easy, if you have the tools you need! In this class, we will go over simple story structures, how to recognize beats and edits, and ways to create scenes that work for us rather than bog us down. Incorporating classical dramatic structure and long form improv formats, we will explore different structures and ways to craft a story inside-out.

Staging if often an after thought on a traditional improv stage- let's change that! In this class, we will focus on physical attributes of performance by working with a staging grid, levels, and tempo in relation to the space and to each other. Discover how staging can give you gifts in every improv scene. There is so much richness here that is often overlooked. Learn how to play with space and elevate your performances!
