“The course was clearly designed to build upon the skills we had learnt in the previous week/s, which made for a natural and clear progression”

Scene Work is designed to advance your skills from simple narratives in scenes and games into more complex and open scenes. Create funny, moving and satisfying scenes by understanding key scene principles, such as:

• Identifying whose scene it is
• Advancing and extending
• Creating compelling platforms
• Fearlessly adding tilts
• Heightening and exploring
• Answer the promise of the platform
• Reincorporating and ending scenes

The course is designed to challenge improvisers to create scenes without relying on suggestions, games or gimmicks. Instead, we'll focus on our scene partner and what’s already happening in the scene, which are crucial building blocks of all improvisational work.
