Openings & Premise! An Performance Improv Masterclass with Billy Merritt - A QCCE24 Experience

This Master Class follows the mantra "Suggestion is Opening, Opening Is Form".

Build the form as you go, recognize patterns, find new ways to explore suggestions. Learn multiple openings and forms, then learn how to plug and play different openings into different forms. Each opening you learn will have a different way to pull premise or character. Each form you learn will let you know what to do with premises and characters. If you (or your team) is looking for new ways to freshen up your long forms, this is the class for you!

After lunch, participants will pick an opening to create a show around. That form will be performed in the 8:00pm Sunday, October 27th show.
