THR 140Improvisation

Catalog

This course is well-suited for actors who want to be more spontaneous or non-performers who wish to strengthen their collaboration and communication skills. Through unscripted performance exercises, students build trust and spontaneity, while exploring techniques of storytelling, ensemble playing, physicality, character development, and environment creation. Students explore the comedic and dramatic potential in improvised scene work, building towards long-form improvisation and material that can inspire fully-scripted pieces. This course meets the General Education requirement for Creative Work.
