PREREQUISITE: YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED LEVEL 1 IMPROV OR EQUIVALENT AT ANOTHER COMEDY THEATER TO QUALIFY FOR THIS CLASS. In the comment section of Checkout, please list when you took said classes and who your instructors were.
If you fail to meet the prerequisites for this course and continue to register anyway, we will have to transfer you out and add the balance as class credit, to be used for other classes.
While improv is almost exclusively spoken about within the comedic world, improvisation can be a huge asset to dramatic acting. In this class, we will explore character objectives, fears and desires, emotional commitment, and much more. Think of this as an acting class you don’t have to prep a monologue or scene for.
