In this 2-day clown intensive we play with emotions, relationships, and status to begin to lay the groundwork toward creating your own material. Through partner and ensemble exercises we will discover what unlocks your mischievous pleasure, the joy of getting into trouble, and how playing with your friends can lead you into the silliest of situations.

Prerequisite: Level 2 or higher in an established improv school.
Whether your goal is solid storytelling or pure chaos, the root of any good improv show is solid, two-person scene work. This 8-week intensive focuses on the fundamentals of creating believable, lived-in universes, giving players the tools to answer the audience’s burning question: “Why the fuck are we watching this?” Players will work on making active choices with a deep commitment to honesty and listening and will drill simple techniques to create interesting scene starts every single time, with a heavy focus on building powerful and emotionally dynamic relationships between the characters and creating fun, playable games. The intensive will also include plenty of individual feedback and diagnostics, tons of stage time, and in-depth homework assignments designed to chisel you into hardened improv steel.
8 WEEKS with a SHOWCASE on Sunday, December 17th
