Improvisation for the Actor
with Second City alum Samantha Albert
Thinking quickly on your feet as an actor is more than a commodity – it’s a necessity!
Each week, Second City alum Sam Albert will take students through a series of games and exercises to help develop the improviser in each actor. In addition to these exercises, a portion of each class is devoted to real life audition and on set situations where improvisation may be required.
Begin to silence the inner critic and trust in the ability to make things up on the spot! Become a more organic, in-the-moment performer –with or without a script! Learn the skills that helped actors like Steve Carrell and Tina Fey grow their careers – and have fun doing it!
SCHEDULE:
Thursdays, 7pm - 10pm
