Deepen your improv practice and go beyond stereotypes with our More Character class. You’ll learn to embody perspectives, spaces, relationships, words, gestures, emotions, and thoughts by sinking into a totally new point of view. Discover how much better your comedy can get by improvising specific and rich characters on the spot. This course ends in a share performance for an invited audience at Sea Tea Comedy Theater.

The improviser has to be both actor and writer, without the luxury of time (or a favorite coffee shop) to work on character development or plot. This workshop series will explore using literary techniques in the moment, with our teammates, to make our longform improv scenes more resemble scripted material. With a focus on character and the use of metaphor, we’ll practice generating rich, specific people and places that will engage audiences and be fun to inhabit. All in the comfort of our pajamas.

This 3-week mini-course for intermediate to advanced improvisers was developed specifically for an online platform and will blend lecture, discussion, and yes, virtual exercises! Students will be encouraged to do very brief selected readings between class meetings.
