Improv 2 (In Person) - Rich Sohn
Starts May 11th (8 weeks) 12-3pm Saturdays
This class will be held at The Ledge Theatre
1615 N. Vermont, 90027
No prerequisites required!
Level 2 is about empowering the improvisor. You’ll learn to trust yourself to make strong choices, to embrace the power of listening and to fearlessly stay open to the possibilities of every moment. We’ll take a deep dive into elements of scene-work – character, environment, style, blocking, subtext – and find inspiration and freedom there. We’ll help identify the habits that limit you and open you up to greater possibilities. At the end of these 8 weeks you will be a braver, better, more confident improvisor.
About the teacher
Rich Sohn just moved to LA from Chicago after decades there as a performer, director, writer, coach and teacher working at the Annoyance Theatre, iO and Second City. As a student, he’s studied under such Improv legends as Del Close, Mick Napier, Martin de Maat, Susan Messing, and Kevin Dorff. As a teacher, it’s at The Annoyance Theatre where Rich primarily found his voice and approach. He has taught workshops all across the country as well as in the UK. As a performer, he’s done a shit-ton of shows in Chicago, but locally you might have seen him guest in Quartet at iO or the monthly show Clausen College Show at the Lyric Hyperion. He has the same last name as actor/teacher Rebecca Sohn because he won at marriage.
