MASTERCLASS WITH WILL HINES: PULLING PREMISE BASICS

Santa Fe Improv 1202 Parkway Drive, Santa Fe, NM, United States

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.

$20.00 – $100.00

MASTERCLASS WITH WILL HINES: VERTICAL VS HORIZONTAL HEIGHTENING (PLEASE READ PREREQUISITE)

Santa Fe Improv 1202 Parkway Drive, Santa Fe, NM, United States

This class is about supporting a scene once it gets going. We'll look at "vertical" heightening -- repeat what's going on already, except BIGGER. And then also the more elusive "horizontal" heightening (move to elsewhere in the world, follow the consequences, fill out the history that got us here). You need both kinds. This is a very improv nerdy but fun workshop in what to do once things get going! Prerequisite: Students must have taken, or be currently taking, SFI’s Level Three (or higher) Improv classes at SFI (or those with equivalent improv experience).

$20.00 – $100.00

Santa Fe Improv 1202 Parkway Drive, Santa Fe, NM, United States

LEVEL ONE – INTRO TO IMPROV

Santa Fe Improv 1202 Parkway Drive, Santa Fe, NM, United States

The heart of long form improvisation is the two-person scene. This class is centered on grounded, authentic two-person scene work. In this class, we focus on two main elements: establishing a base reality (the who, what, and where) and the emotional reality of the scene (what is the character’s relationship to themselves and to the environment around them?)

We also touch on how to edit a scene and do support work through walk-ons and tag outs. Improvisers learn how to become comfortable playing themselves on stage and draw inspiration from their real-life experiences.
