Program Description
Outdoor Theater Program
Over the course of this workshop, actors will work to hone their ensemble skills and learn the basics of improvisaton and sketch comedy. Over the course of the workshop students will master multiple improv games and use their learning as a lens in examining the world they are creating and inhabiting in their social lives. We will pay special attention to encouraging and engaging each voice in “the room” to be heard throughout the process. We will generate ideas, create situations and settings, identify absurdities, write and perform our own sketches and bring them to hilarious conclusions.
* there will be no class on Monday May 31st
SHARED PERFORMANCE
