This workshop is an introduction to group and team improvisational comedy covering spontaneity, group focus, ensemble building, narrative skills, and how to identify and exploit patterns and connections between ideas that help create brilliant and hilarious improv comedy. Participants will learn basic and intermediary improv comedy skills, including various “comedy sports” games that will be put on full display at a performance for the community! Andrew Beck, who has an MFA from the University of Nebraska and is a Theatre Instructor at Oregon State University, is the Artistic Director of No-Filter Improv in Portland, Oregon.
The INTENSIVES are designed for adults and young adults who are interested in the workshop topics, and participants who put in a bit of time to prepare beforehand will get the most out of the sessions. Also, most INTENSIVES workshops require a little bit of homework — Each three-day workshop is limited to 12 participants, and the registration fee is $50. Recommended for participants ages 16 and up.
Thursday, March 12, 6pm – 9pm
Friday, March 13, 6pm – 9pm
Saturday, March 14, 12pm – 4pm, with a public show at 7pm
