Improv allows us to play with ideas and become characters we might not otherwise have an opportunity to explore and expand into in the safe and supportive space that a class provides. No matter what reality a scene is playing with - whether it is grounded and reality-based or weird and experimental - the scene needs relationships between the characters at the center for both improvisers and audience to connect to it. This class series will explore 4 types of relationships in improv scenes using fun exercises that focus on the different dynamics that drive behavior, reaction, and the arc of a scene. By cultivating the skills for engaging with these dynamics in a conscious way, we add valuable tools to the improviser's toolkit that are accessible when making scenes. A bonus is that these skills can translate into more responsive, adaptive, effective communication in real-life relationships

• This improv workshop series will focus on both short-form games that build essential skills for long form improv and are entertaining and engaging in performance, and scene work from first to second beats. The skills cultivated by these exercises and games include:
  Strengthening the "current" of connection that is the invisible magic of an improv team

• Tapping spontaneity that drives the flow underlying the group connection

• Finding characters through world-building

• Discovering the relationship between characters and their "deal"

• Exploring possible 2nd beats of scenes and trying them out

• Creating scenes through true collaboration and radical support of one another

• Having maximum fun
