Art of the Scene

The Heart of It

Now that you know the basics, it's time to build on The Art Of The Scene.  This course is all about getting you the scene experience you need to nail journeys consistently and confidently. Diving deeper and with way more improv practice than ever before - deepening your learning with more emotional expansion and scene skills!

• Worldbuilding - object work that will inspire you as much as any word can do!
• The ABC method - a structure to assure your scene gets off on the right foot and builds equitably and joyfully
• Silent scenes
• Rapid-fire dialogue techniques
• And more...

The Art of the Scene course is special in that the lessons are tighter, and the scene practice is maximized. You start with a lesson session, then after a quick break, you get a special session just to do scenes, with both your fellow classmates and other Improv Connection players with a multitude of experience, in smaller groups – more scenes, with more experienced players.
