The Animated Body with Amy Larimer
IRTE @ 411 West 41st Street, New York, NY
The use of the body is an essential part of improv. Strong physical choices can clarify characters, focus the mind and bring energy and direction to scenes. Although improvisers know that physicality is important, there is often little time to work individually on expanding physical range. This class will offer exercises to open and coordinate the mind and body as well as techniques that will help performers commit to heightened ways of moving. Performers...

In improvised scene work, having an emotional take on the environment, the relationships, and events helps bring life to your work, as well as give more definition to a character. In this rehearsal, we will explore methods and tools to better provide our characters with an emotional viewpoint, while maintaining a consistency that is still flexible and spontaneous enough for in-the-moment discovery and growth.

From the Page to the Stage
Improv is where you are tasked to create big characters on the spot. Sometimes they can be forgettable, but other times, you come up with something wonderful that deserves a chance to not only be seen again, but to be worked on and written for. In our workshop, we will improvise and create characters and then work on them in monologue and scene form. If we are lucky, you will walk out with some new people you can use in future scripted shows,...
Improvising with Props

We're looking to get on our feet and discover new ways to think about...
Scenes That Work! Scotty's Scene Builder Workshop
IRTE @ 411 W 41st St, New York, NY
Scene work is the backbone of improvisational theatre. It is the medium through which we explore the larger narrative.

I guarantee that the mistakes were made in the first 30-seconds. Scotty teaches how to initiate scenes that work so you can tell...
