What is this scene about? Sometimes we start playing a scene, we create characters, we create an environment, and then… we don’t know what to do. In this course, students will learn the tools to help them move a scene forward and make the big choices to create action. Using the structure of narrative, we will create scenes that have a beginning, middle, and end. This course helps students perfect the what of their improv scenes.

We'll also delve into theatrical genres, giving you tools to intentionally shape scenes using the distinct styles and tropes of musical theatre.

Anything is possible in improv, and yet so many of our scenes end up looking the same. In this course, we break open the toolbox and find new and exciting ways to ideate, play, and present our scenes.

See what happens when you playfully break the ‘rules’: asking questions, engaging in conflict, not taking turns, playing without platform…. turning your back to the audience! Let’s disassemble and re-examine some of the shortcuts we’ve come to rely on and see what new scenes lie on the other side.

We’ll cover: solo scenes and monologues, abstract scenes, group scenes and different ways to use the ensemble, playing with conflict, making things matter, beginnings and endings, and much more!
