What you'll learn in this improv class:

Levels 2 & 3: Free Your Mind & Advanced Scenes

Let’s love the hell out of what’s happening onstage and we’re bound to create fun and fearless improvisation.

In the first half of this intensive, we’re cutting the naysaying voices in your head and slapping you out of whatever may be holding you back. We will look at how we sometimes bail on our choices out of a fear of making the “right or wrong choice" and to instead approach improv with a "fuck it / love it" mentality (because improv is one of the most wonderful things in the world if you don't treat it too seriously). We encourage your artistic freedom with methods to initiate scenes with an emotional point of view, to be specific and surprising in your choices, to support your scene partner, and to confidently navigate the vocabulary and concepts of long-form improv.

For the second half of this intensive we’ll be layering more complicated improv techniques onto fearless play. Techniques like authentically grounding your characters so they feel believable or using curve balls to keep scenes surprising. We’ll explore the dynamics that make up three-person and group scenes, and learn to stay out of our heads while balancing it all. Students will learn how to be versatile ensemble players who can build long-form pieces organically while keeping the show and audience's experience in mind. This intensive isn’t just about learning technical skills, it will also teach you to own what makes you unique as a performer by exploring the areas you shy away from through personal notes and challenges.

It all culminates in a performance for the public.

Prerequisite: Completion of BCC Level 1 Improv OR students who have taken at least one full-length course at a major comedy theater (UCB, PIT, Magnet, Squirrel, Second City, iO, Annoyance, etc.) or have similar prior training can begin at this level. Please write your prior experience in the form when registering.
