DESCRIPTION

The Scenework improv class is designed to improve your improv scenes. The goal is to help players develop an array of tools to help them start strong, build together, and close scenes on high note. (If you've never taken an improv class before, we strongly suggest starting with our Intro to Improv class.)

This class looks at scenes first from the perspective of a series of skills and then learning how to weave those skills together to create funnier, more memorable scenes, regardless of the format you're playing in.

We will dig into:

• Scene starts (Platform)
• Relationships
• Environment
• Patterns and game
• Editing a scene
