Short form 2:
|
Ok, now you know a bunch of short form games and you're ready to learn how to play them with skillful joy and ease. Short Form 2 is your class! Let's take the time to focus on some core short form games to strengthen your short form foundation. And while we're at it, let's expand what short form is capable of because at its heart, short form is just a scene with a clear game right up front. Short form helps us practice quickly finding characters, relationships, and patterns, so it's an excellent skill set to develop no matter what type of improv you perform. In addition to learning key short form games, we explore: What's the mindset for performing short form? How can you maintain honest scenework in gibberish? How can a large toolbox of short form games benefit your longform scenework? How can we perform these games artfully? Let's dive deeply into the individual games to help you learn the in's and out's, tips, and tricks of short form improv comedy!
