Women’s Longform Class
This class is designed to guide and encourage players to overcome limitations they have run into in their lives or performances, and to work outside of gender based stereotypes. Within a supportive atmosphere using physical warm-ups, YesAnding exercises, layering techniques, monologues and longform improv formats, players learn to access unlimited imaginations and to create surprising new characters, becoming increasingly in tune with their own creative centers. The first half hour of the class will begin with open theory discussions, covering topics such as battling the inner critic, fear of success, authenticity, heightening and extending within improv work, being present on stage and YesAnding. The remainder of the class time will be spent in scenework, monologues and longforms led by the instructor.
