This eight-week class builds on the skills learned in Improv Level 1 and delves deeper into building engaging scenes; the cornerstone of long-form improvisation. Students will gain an understanding of how to make strong scene initiations and establish the who, what, when, and where of a scene through the construction of intricate settings and rich characters. Students will also learn how to recognize and explore the most interesting choices within scenes in order to heighten and revisit them in subsequent beats. Attention will also be paid to the transitions, edits, and enhancement of scenes. This class culminates in a live performance.
