Organic Improv Classes

About this course

Participants work within organic long-form improvisation, beginning with an audience suggestion and discovering the scenes, games and overall shape of the performance in real time. The course develops ways to recognise and follow an emerging game rather than imposing one, while making committed choices that energise scenes. It also covers collaborative scene-building, dynamic editing through sweeps, tags and cuts, and the use of recurring themes and patterns to create cohesion across a show.
