Basics of Long Form Improvisation with Shaun Landry

Do you really want to know the basics of Long Form Improvisation?. The ideas of being in the moment, connected with your scene partners building a scene and strong characters and environment?

Tired of being taught Deconstruction that leads to Nothing? Seen enough "Inside Jokes" passing as "Truth in Comedy"? Tired of performing improvisational theater where it just might as well be standup comedy with six people?

Would you like to be in a class that will give you straight critique instead of passive advice in a passive aggressive "Supportive Environment"

"If you like coddling and hand holding? This class is not for you" - Shaun Landry.

This class is a three hour intensive on the basics of Long Form Improvisation which will cover the basics of: Classic Harold, Deconstruction, Montages, Armando and all theatrical based Long form Formats in between. A great starter class passed down first hand from Mr. Close.
