11:00am - 5:00pm (with lunch break) Happier Valley Comedy Theater (1 Mill Valley Rd in Hadley) $150 Prerequisite: Completion of Improv 3 or permission from scott@happiervalley.com |
A full day workshop with the brilliant Rick Andrews!
Almost every strong choice on stage can be traced back to listening--listening to your partner, and listening to the choices you've made in the scene. What separates great improvisers is their ability to take every small moment, look, gesture, word choice, tone, pause, movement and use it to intuit even more of their scene partner's headspace. Not just what could be true, but rather what do I think my partner thinks is true? The more of each moment we capture in our awareness, the more powerful our scene work will get.
