exploring long form structures
|
What else is out there in the wild world of Long Form improvisation? This class provides a playful introduction (or re-introduction) to some popular Long Form structures. Depending on your teacher and student interest, formats could include La Ronde, Evente, YEAST, Living Room, Spokane, 3-Way Pivot, Armando, and Interview. Exploring Long Form Structures is great for expanding your repertoire of formats while gaining practice and comfort performing them. Let's get out there and explore!

About Your Teacher:
Scott Braidman is General Manager and Artistic Director of Happier Valley Comedy. Scott started improvising in 2002 with Mission: Improvable at UMass Amherst, and since then he has studied and performed at The iO Theater and One Group Mind in Chicago, The UCB Theatre in New York, and ImprovBoston and Improv Asylum in Boston. He was also an instructor with the ImprovBoston Comedy School. Scott produces and directs Happier Valley Comedy's shows as well as teaching improv classes and performing with many improvised shows, the most impressive of which is called "Being A Dad", and it isn't a real show, it's just actually being a dad, like, all the time. He gets a little better at it each day.

*Happier Valley Comedy rents land that was stolen from Indigenous people, including the Pocumtuc and Nipmuc tribes. A land acknowledgement is not appropriate or adequate to address this injustice that continues to harm people today. Therefore, we have instituted an ongoing process of contributing to the preservation of the lands and cultures of Northeastern Indigenous Peoples. All class fees contain an additional $3 to benefit The Nolumbeka Project, a local nonprofit whose mission is dedicated to these goals.
