A master class for experienced improvisers led by the artistic director of 30-year-old Precipice Improv Theater. Improv Master Class In this master class we will explore answers to the questions: "What entertains and moves an audience?" And "What will the audience find satisfying at every moment in a scene and play?" In answering these questions, we will develop reliable techniques for starting scenes regardless of the format that is used, maintaining audience interest in a scene after conveying the exposition, finding an ending to scenes that is not predictable but seemingly inevitable, and stringing scenes together to create a satisfying larger structure for virtually any improv format. In addition, the teacher, Gary Jacobs, artistic director of Precipice Improv Theater, will work individually with participants to identify the one point of focus for each improviser that will make the greatest positive difference in their work. And actors who work together will have the opportunity to work with Gary on specific areas of interest to their troupe. Enrollment is strictly limited. So you are encouraged to sign up early. The workshop is taught by Gary Jacobs, producer of the Bethesda Improv and Comedy Festival, and artistic director of Precipice Improv Theater and the Center for Narrative Improvisation since 1995.
