Improvisers occupy many roles on stage including actor, director, writer and even set designer. This class will explore the interaction of all these roles in longform narrative scenes. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">From the the first moments of a scene to the last, students will learn how to collaboratively build a cohesive narrative and serve to advance the scene. The course will also explore how to continually "Yes, and..." your first choices on stage, listen to and support your scene partners onstage and off, explore complex characters, endow the stage with rich environments, and build compelling stories in the moment. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Students should have taken some basic improv classes as a prerequisite for this course. This class will put to work the many different skills taught as part of our Fundamentals Wheel.
