Event Details
Level: experienced
The Deconstruction is a long-form format that explores a recurring relationship-based scene through themes, commentary and the world in which it all takes place. It was developed by Del Close and The Family – a seminal improv group from Chicago that included the likes of Miles Stroth and Matt Besser.
The beauty of the Deconstruction is that it allows us to stretch our improv skills in a variety of directions in order to create a rich, layered performance. Like most forms, the focus and way it is taught evolves over time, and so with this. Therefore we’ll look at some variations while honouring the form as a whole.
What can I expect?
Detailed relationship scenes up to 7 minutes in length
Identifying theme and exploring that through scene-work
Short, funny premise-based and game-heavy scenes
Exploring and developing variations of the form
