Intro to Improv
DESCRIPTION:

This five week course will teach the basic skills of improv performing by covering such topics as scene creation and advancement, character development methods, object work, and much more. We will also be covering the rules and tricks to many different improv games such as those seen at The Second City Theatre and on television shows like WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY. This five week, crash course will walk you through many tricks of the trade and provide advice on how to pursue more on your own. All are welcome! If the idea of improv is completely foreign or perhaps terrifying to you, this is the chance to get over it. If you're an actor or actress who has been asked about your improv experience and had to answer, "I don't have any.", this is your chance to tell them yes and back it up with words and action. Even if you already have previous improv training or experience, this is a excellent opportunity to get back to the basics, learn from a seasoned performer, and network with others.

INSTRUCTOR: Dave Davies has been a local performer for over ten years working primarily as an improv artist. Dave has been a founding member of several different improv troupes and efforts. He has performed for audiences in such places as Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Toronto, Chicago, and many more. He can currently be seen performing every Monday evening at the Planet Ant Theatre and as member of The Guild performing at the Century Theatre. Dave has successfully directed several original comedy shows that were created and written through improv like BUSINESS AS UNUSUAL, LIVING WITH THE SEVINSENS, and SMALL PACKAGES. In addition to Maxxim Development, he has assembled and taught several basic improv classes and work shops at the Planet Ant Theatre, St. Clair Community College, and the Century Theatre with extremely great results.
