IMPROV SCENE LAB
Practice. Practice. Practice. Perform improvised scenes and get immediate constructive feedback. Make your scene work more varied, interesting and successful. Discover elements and methods of successful scene work in order to work better with your partner, make the strongest choices and break bad habits. Exercises may be introduced to illustrate various principles, but the main focus will be on open scene work.   The lab is taught by Doug Kassel (see below).
