Move it! Yes, I mean you. (Physical Improv class)
This class incorporates elements of clowning, mime, and environmental work and applies them to improv scene work. By freeing up the body, the student will discover new characters, different approaches to creating a relationship onstage, and tools to add variety to their scene work. During the class, the student will be given the opportunity to do both solo and duo work as well as participate in side coaching using some of the learned techniques. The class will begin with a group stretch, followed by exercises, and solo/scene work-- please wear comfortable clothes and shoes and be prepared to move!
Max. Participants: 15
