  • Comedic Improv with Michael O’Keeffe

    Location: Pollak Gallery
    Comedic improvisation is the true playground of the theatre! Students gain confidence while acquiring skills that allow them to create scenes and stories using nothing but their imaginations and each other – all completely on-the-spot! 
    There are some fascinating opposites inherent in improvisation: 
    • • In order to look good you must make others look good. 
    • • In order to be safe you must take risks. 
    • • To be self reliant you must trust others. 
    • To be able to succeed you must be willing to fail good-naturedly.
    We will explore these concepts along with others, including teamwork, focus, concentration, mistakes as gifts, relaxation, being changed, listening/observing, re-incorporation, comedic timing, etc., etc., etc… 
    We will be doing structured exercises and games (just like “Whose Line is it Anyway?”)  as a whole group as well as in pairs and trios. We will work on going with our first idea while supporting our partner’s ideas. We will practice trusting our instincts and taking risks in a safe, fun and playful atmosphere.
