Improv 101 — Improv Basics

Mon-Fri 11am-6pm starting Jun 16, 2008

Students will learn the fundamentals of long-form improvisation. Core concepts covered include using character agreement to make your scenes succeed, developing character, character status, object and environment work, “playing at the top of your intelligence,” and heightening (finding ways to make your scenes get funnier from start to finish).

This course also introduces the specific vocabulary of the UCB Training Center.

This course meets for 8 sessions that are each 3 hours long. At the end of the course, students will take part in a class performance at the UCB Theatre. Graduation is also contingent upon students seeing at least two improvised shows at the UCB Theater before the end of the course.

Intensive

Because we register the intensive classes so far in advance, we cannot announce who will teach the class. For most intensive classes, two or more instructors teach the class jointly.
