Whiplash! 10 Hour Scenework Bootcamp

10 Hour Scene Work Bootcamp! Prerequisite: Level 2 or higher in established improv school. Limit: 12 students Description: Whether your goal is solid story telling or pure chaos, the root of any good improv show is solid, two person scene work. This two day long 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 plenty of reps, as well as in depth homework assignments designed to chisel you into hardened improv steel.
