MASTER CLASS WITH WILL HINES: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL HEIGHTENING
Saturday, May 11th: PULLING PREMISE BASICS @11am-2pm
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.All levels.
Will has been teaching long-form improv since 2004 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, at both its New York and Los Angeles branches. He’s published a best-selling book on improv called How to Be The Greatest Improviser on Earth. He’s also a working comedic actor and has appeared on many terrific television programs (Brooklyn 99) and on some big podcasts (Comedy Bang-Bang) as well as the 99 podcasts he’s produced himself (including Screw It We’re Just Gonna Talk about the Beatles) He’s also the founder of the audaciously-named World’s Greatest Improv School.
