Level: intermediate
The Nursery/Maydays longform electives are classes on specific aspects of longform improvisation Some of these classes focus on skills and some on forms, some on narrative ideas and some on Chicago-style longform. In these classes, students will have the opportunity to play side coached longform sets with particular focuses and feedback from the teacher.
Whatever show you are in, a good improviser will always keep the audience on their toes. They will play with the expectations and the promises of the show. This kind of variety keeps the audience stimulated and surprised. They are leaning forward in their chairs, delighted when they know what is going to happen, and equally delighted when the show takes a totally different turn.
In this workshop, you will look at different ways to find variety and texture in your longform, creating contrast and variation without breaking the piece. You will find different ways to be inspired by what has come before and learn to balance your shows by adding what is missing without losing the heart of what makes that show fun.
Workshop includes:
Variety of emotion, rhythm and genre
Identifying and playing with audience expectations
Making a coherent piece from widely differing elements
Min. participants 6, max. participants 12. If we have to cancel the event due to low numbers, we will do this with 24 hours notice.
This intermediate elective runs Wednesday 13th January, 7 pm- 9.30 pm GMT
Intermediate (3/6 months+) These classes will be opportunities to add tools to your growing toolbox. Normally these classes will expect players to be confident playing scenes. These classes will provide practice and specific new skills.
NB: Our electives frequently sell out, but do not despair if this class has. You have not missed your shot. If enough people join the waiting list, we are often able to put the same class on a few days after or in parallel. So if you were excited, join up and we will be in touch.
Time
(Saturday) 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm GMT
