WILL HINES MASTERCLASS: PULLING PREMISE BASICS
Give a monologue and initiate a premise. It’s easy until it’s not. We will go over some solid strategies (one step beyond, analogous, using a character), problems to avoid (don’t forget the why) and things that are different than non-premise improv (Yes, you can tell the other person who they are). Once the scene gets going, it’s easy. Get sharp at this very useful tool and approach.
