A3647: Intro to Improv in Splash Spring 19 (Apr. 06, 2019)
Improvisation is an essential tool for any actor. Oftentimes people associate it with comedy, but it is used often in dramas and action movies when a line is skipped or some other mistake arises. It's the way an actor keeps the scene going, and often time improv can make the final cut in a TV or film. In this class, student will receive an introduction to improv focused mainly on hands-on work. This means students should be ready to practice improv exercises in groups, pairs, and, if they are comfortable, alone. This class is designed for all kinds of students, and acting experience is not at all required.
