Why are we making improv more difficult than it needs to be? Ultimately, we're playing make-believe with our friends. That's so fun! This workshop is all about simplifying things by getting back to the basics and focusing on having a blast on stage. Everyone is invited to participate in this one time workshop with visiting improv all star, Casey Feigh.

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.
The Harold is the hardest longform set to play, but it’s also the most rewarding. Every skill required to be a great longform improviser is built into the Harold. We will cover it all in this class: opening games, group games, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd beats. You'll learn premise-based initiations. You'll learn how to create strong base realities so that you can return to them in your later beats. You will find yourself making justifications, callbacks, and connections. You will learn to be a better improviser.
This class introduces the monologue as a way to create premise-based longform improv sets. Develop the ability to make premise-based initiations that help jump start your scene. Build on the fundamentals of creating a base reality (who, what, where) and emotional reality. Revisit and heighten scenes later in the set with second beats. Other things explored in this level are framing and justification.
Prerequisite: Level 1: Intro to Longform or prior improv experience
