This course is about adding the skills of long-form improv comedy to your skillset. Building relationships, creating complex characters, maintaining longer scenes, switching between scenes and much more.
You don’t need to have done L2 to do this course. Either you’ve done a beginner’s improv course before (with anyone, not just us) or you’ve been casually doing improv for a little while (e.g. the Jam).
What is Long-form Improv
It’s a category of improvised comedy performance where one or more narratives are maintained, explored or advanced through more than one scene. In long-form improv, you’ll almost definitely find yourself playing a character more than once, for example, and working towards keeping a story going for a few scenes.
What you’ll be doing in this Improv Course
A small part revisiting some of the improv basics, a large part getting acquainted with techniques and formats that are conducive to good long-form.
We’ll be approaching things like:
- Creating and inhabiting more complex characters
- Building dynamic relationships between your characters
- Performing longer scenes
- Finding and following a narrative (listening and interpretation skills)
What you’ll get out of the Course
A fundamental understanding of how to perform long-form comedy improvisation. You’ll basically be able to improvise an entire short comedy play by the end of the course. There will also be the opportunity to perform and showcase your new skills at one of our shows. It isn’t mandatory but it is recommended.
