FROM IMPROV to STAND-UP
Dana Bein
|
$40
Saturday 3-5pm |
| |
The basis of this class is taking fundamentals from improvisational comedy and applying them to writing and performing stand up comedy. In my experience, there are so many improvisors who fear taking the plunge into stand up comedy when they've already got the skillset to get a running start. Improvisation and stand up comedy may be different forms of comedy, but they use some of the same muscles. We'll use basic short form improv games and exercises to highlight techniques for joke writing and material recognition. This class will point out how emotion, character work, commitment and heightening are just as relevant behind a mic stand as they are in a black box theater. The only requirement for this class is an open mind.
