THEA 102 Improvisation

This class will introduce students to the basic skills of theatrical improvisation: Listening, Accept & Add (Yes, And), and Immediacy. As the semester continues we will add more advanced skills, including Characterization, Objectives, Game, and Heightening. These skills will be applied to both short form improv scenes and long form improv formats, which are typically designed to more closely resemble traditional scripted theatre. In addition, students will watch online improv sets, and then comment upon and critique those sets. The class will also include two showcase performances.
