Join Shulie Cowen (director of Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!?) for a beginning music improv comedy workout! The class is a fun opportunity to play with the basics you already know and gain personal confidence with musical improv. Get on your feet and get your reps in!

Let's face it, three person dynamics are inevitably off-kilter. In this workshop we'll tackle different exercises aimed at capturing the imbalance, tension, and comedic potential to create fabulously entertaining three person scenes.

Are you tired of seeing improv shows where it’s just people standing around talking to each other? Like something you could see for free outside the theatre? And then you do your show and you realized you ARE those people? Improv is still THEATRE. Shulie Cowen (Theatre Major, Northwestern University) will help you create a “show” when you do an improv show. This class will not only help you make the most of your improv scenes but will help you make sure the audience has a theatrical experience that keep them coming back for more.

Improv 201 builds on the basic principles of improv and helps develop your improv skills to make strong comedic choices. By finding and exploring Game you will expand your ‘Yes, and’ abilities while also discovering all avenues that Game can play in scenes.
