In this course, a continuation of a class that began last year, you'll work with Dave Dennison and a small, tight ensemble of advanced improvisors to explore two genres.  The class culminates of in two performances - one halfway through and another at the end of the series.

This advanced workshop will explore the rich world of genres-books, plays and movies with an improviser's eye.  Rather than skimming the tops of many genres, this class will delve more deeply into just a few. The students and instructor meet every other week to immerse in specific characters and locations and on the off week be asked to watch original source material in a given genre.  Performances will be in the genre(s) and formats of the classes' choosing.

As this is a graduate level, ensemble-based workshop, priority is given to previous enrollees and additional applicants must obtain approval from the coach and dean in order to enroll.  Please email regina@improv.org to ascertain eligibility.
