Instructor: Eric Weiss
The heart of long form improvisation is the two-person scene. This class is centered on grounded, authentic two-person scene work.
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.

No prerequisites or experience necessary.
