Improvisation for the Actor
Wednesdays, 7 PM
April 10 through June 12, 2013 (No class on April 24 and May 8)
Raleigh Charter High School
Class fee: $150
Instructor: J Chachula
A well-grounded class in the art of acting through improvisation. It’s not a class about telling jokes or being clever, but about learning to trust your impulses, allow spontaneity, and create cooperatively. Students move beyond the basics into more traditional improvised scene work, although that work is deeper and more truthful than what you'll see on most improv stages.
For anyone who has had Meisner training, this class supports those underlying principles: really doing whatever it is you’re doing, putting your attention on your partner, and accepting and responding to what’s actually happening in the moment. You don't need Meisner training to take the class, though!
The class is also appropriate for artists of other disciplines, and even non-performers (such as writers) or anyone who has the desire to have some fun, break out of a rut and acquire some useful skills.
As in all Flying Machine classes, you can expect a fun, challenging, positive, and supportive atmosphere.
We’ll meet once a week from 7-10 PM, and there is no required rehearsal outside class.
