spokane
|
Also called the Pretty Flower and the Family Guy, this form makes us work to flex both our grounded scenework muscles and our fast play muscles. From a base grounded Monoscene, we’ll use tags as our edits to explore different tangents, playing at a faster pace. This form is perfect for players who want the best of both worlds — rich, patient, character building, and fast paced, playful, silly tags.
Adaptable to most timeslots, the Spokane is a great choice for indie teams, and we’ll play with longer and shorter set lengths.
Prerequisite: Completion of any Ensemble class at HVC
or permission from leadership
About Your Teacher:
Bianca Casusol is a performer and teacher based in NYC, currently teaching at the Second City in Brooklyn. She's been lucky enough to teach at festivals across the country, The Magnet Theater, The People's Improv Theater, DSI Comedy Theater, and The North Carolina Theater Conservatory, and to learn from every person she's ever played with. When she's not doing make believe, she's turning children's short stories into sketches as a touring member of The Story Pirates or trying to pet every animal.
She was a founding member of the Kiss:Punch:Poem, which Time Out Chicago called, " a rare find, a show that mixes improv with spoken word to effects both uproarious and heartfelt". Her work has been featured on The Truth Podcast, Hot Mic with Dan Savage, Risk!, Bust Magazine, and Reductress.
Small but Important Details!
