Improv 3: Acting for Improv & Improv for Actors
“The difference between a good scene and a great scene is making the audience give a shit.”
Being funny or quick-witted is awesome, but not enough for greatness. Connecting with your audience on a deeper level is what makes us memorable, and doing that first requires them to believe us. This class focuses on actors commanding the stage and becoming emotionally vulnerable so we earn the laughs.
Melding bold improv structure with classical acting and theatre exercises, John will help you get out of your head and into your power as a performer. Develop the tools to add honest emotional depth, vulnerability, and spontaneity to your scenes that will allow you to confidently make bolder choices, elevate your work, and turn the funny into the sublime.
