Let’s explore Game of the Scene for improv comedy! In this workshop we take game and dial it up to 1000. Learning techniques for playing crazy and fun games without alienating the audience. We'll break down techniques for mastering rhythm and pacing, providing actionable insights into how to "read the room" and adjust the game accordingly.
What You'll Get Out of It:
- Mastery in identifying the game of the scene in various contexts.
- A toolkit for diversifying your games—physical, verbal, emotional, and more.
- Techniques for escalating the game while keeping the audience invested.
- Real-time feedback for course-correcting a game based on audience reactions.
- Strategies for sustaining a high level of energy and silliness without sacrificing audience engagement or narrative integrity
Class size: up to 14
