Alone Together: The Improvised Monologue
Have you ever felt disconnected from the audience or your scene partner? Do you sometimes struggle thinking of the next line, or does the automatism “grounded scene work” or the predictable cadence of improvisers “taking turns” sometimes feel uninspiring? Learning to create longform improvised monologues, and learning how to support improvised monologues from your fellow players onstage, empowers performers to break out of old patterns, trust their ability to create momentum, and discover nuanced and compelling characters. You’ll learn to trust your instincts, embrace spontaneity, and bring a sense of playfulness and depth to your performance. In this workshop improvisers will learn skill sets and tools within the structure of two-person scenes as well as solo exercises geared toward individual growth.

Instructor
Patrick is an actor/ improviser/ comedian who grew up in South Carolina, but now calls Brooklyn his home. He received his BA from the University of South Carolina and his MFA (acting) from The New School for Drama. On Wednesday nights Patrick can be seen performing on The PIT’s house team, The Community Players, as they improvise a community theatre production for a play that has never been written. It’s fun and funny. With his co-writer, developer, and dear friend (Dan Titmuss), Patrick wrote a 2 person 1 hour sci-fi adventure, Life’s Yearning, where all the parts are played by the two performers. When he isn’t performing or auditioning, Patrick hustles as an auctioneer who sells storage lockers for Auctioncheer. Just like Storage Wars!
