Improvisation Level 3 With Showcase

Improvisation Level 3 With Showcase

For confident improvisers ready to take their skills to the next level, this advanced Improvisation Level 3 with Showcase course focuses on performance techniques, ensemble work, and the craft of creating a full long-form improv show.

Building on your playful, spontaneous approach, you’ll work with a leading industry professional to strengthen your creative voice and perform as part of a connected, supportive improv team. This improvisation class culminates in a public showcase, where you and your classmates will take to the stage without a host, trusting your instincts and shaping the show together. The showcase is the perfect chance to take on a personal challenge as you use the skills in your toolbox to work on longer-form sketches that will leave your audience hanging on your every word.

In rehearsals leading up to the showcase, you’ll explore long-form improv in depth, from scene dynamics and story structure to character connection, vocal technique, physicality and a range of methods to drive narrative forward. You'll also continue with the improv exercises and games you've worked with previously, to ensure ensemble cohesion and playfulness.
