Improv - Narrative
Let's improvise narratives! In this eight-week class, we break the cardinal rule of the Harold and improvise a series of scenes that tell one continuous story. With simple games and fun setups, we'll explore the tools that narrative improvisers use to make the plot simple, keep the audience on the edge of their seats, and hold on to that delightful, freewheeling invention that improv is all about. Together we'll learn about stakes, heroes, Story Spine, and the one weird trick that keeps an improv plot flowing smoothly.

This class is appropriate for anyone who's taken Improv 201 or has comparable experience.

Peter Rogers has been an improviser for over twenty years. He's performed in and directed dozens of full-length improvised plays, ranging from Coen-Brothers-inspired crime capers to serious kitchen-sink drama. He currently facilitates classes at the Improv Embassy.

Please bring comfortable indoor shoes to wear in class.
