The Improv Studio is a space for those who love the craft of improvisational theatre. In this course we will work towards a deep understanding of CROW (Character, Relationship, Objective, and Where), not only analyzing how it affects improv, but also how it interacts with theater and our lives at large. We will apply this knowledge to the process of developing and telling stories all on the spot. To keep it interesting, we will be filtering these stories through a wide variety of games. These will come from a slew of categories- hoop, verbal restriction, guessing, storytelling, musical, and more. You will quickly learn how to differentiate these categories, along with the games that fit within them. This course will bolster your skills as an actor, teach you an abundance about the art of storytelling, and boost the confidence you bring to all areas of life- big promises, but we can assure you, they are true!
