Wednesdays | April 9th – May 21st (7-week course)| 18:30-21:00
In Scenes from Truth, we practice bringing authenticity, truth and rich moments to improvised scenes and stories. Using techniques inspired by practitioners including Nadine Antler (Wurzberg Improv), Jason Shotts (IO Chicago) and Sanford Meisner, we explore the freedom which can come when we give ourselves permission to use our own lives and memories as a starting point.
Skills we’ll cover include:
- Active listening
- The power of vulnerability
- Accelerating connection with performers and audiences
- Weaving autobiographical material into improvisation
- Acting truthfully under imaginary circumstances
If you’ve been improvising for a while and want to bring truth, authenticity and groundedness to your skillset or if you are a performer new to improv who is craving a gentle way in, this course is for you. This course is not recommended for anyone who has not performed on stage before.
