COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Get familiar with the Christian Capozzoli's Aerodynamics of Yes techniques of improv. This is a course designed to help performers build upon prior improv training. It sets out to create a bedrock foundation for you as a self reliant, team-playing, fun-chasing improviser. This is for improvisers that want a refreshing new slant on the way they play. Learn to advance and expand your ideas and weave them into rewarding scenes and narratives, with pronounced games.
Celebrate team play, while boosting your confidence as a solo performer. Endorse and cosign each other’s moves with immediate attack, be fearless and reactionary. Get on your toes, out of your head and play. Awaken your sense of play and togetherness. Pre-requisite: Must have completed AERO
The 4Track form demands you rush the stage with confidence and connectivity. Ratchet, bounce and build scenes to a boil, then tumbles into an avalanche of distilled and pithy callbacks. This form rejoices bold choices, physicality, and split second agreement and celebration. Create tension, Take action, and explore characterization through wants, and spine and choice.
Bring modulation, stakes and character clarity to your Monoscene. Use stage-craft and specificity to give torque and traction to your scene, explore the location and use it to fuel your discoveries and declarations. Play with fearless physicality and hairpin emotional shifts.
The Cats Cradle is abstract, amorphous and ever changing, stirring themes, games, stories and character into a thick soup of truth and humor. This form demands group ownership, bold choices, physicality, split second agreement and attack.
INSTANT GAME - Building strong characters starts the moment your foot hits the floor, not the moment you start “thinking.” This workshop will focus on the organic unfolding of a character based on that first step. More being…less thinking! Give your gameplay the torque it needs and take this workshop!
