Advanced Improvisation



Wednesdays, 7-10pm, September 22 - November 10, 2010.

This is a class for students that have moved beyond basics of improvisation and want a more intense experience.  Instructor Greg Atkins' no-nonsense, high-energy approach to improvisation will help students break through fear of the unknown and prepare them for any acting challenge, whether on stage or off. Using the beginning improv class as a springboard, this class will show students how to:

  • liberate spontaneity
  • think quickly on your feet
  • enhance creativity
  • make exciting dramatic choices

As it says in Greg's best selling book IMPROV!, "There are only four areas in which improvisation will help you; auditions, performances, business and life."

Prerequisite: Improvisation I or similar improvisation experience.
