Fee: $176 + $20 book fee due at the first class
PREREQUISITE: Zen of Improv 1 or One-Day Intensive
REQUIRED READING: "Improvisation at the Speed of Life" by Pasquesi, Jagodowski, and Victor
This class picks right up where Zen of Improv 1 left off. We continue to practice the ease-full approach to improvisation in an incredibly positive and accepting atmosphere that will build your confidence as you strengthen your skills and expand your improv toolbox. Our special focus in Zen 2 is on establishing a community of trust and confident risk-taking as we get more comfortable jumping gleefully into the unknown and selflessly supporting our teammates. Let's really dive into an exploration of "Who needs you most?" and how we can be of most service to the scene and each other! We'll use a bunch of short form games in order to practice gaining confidence, jumping gleefully into the unknown and "listening to our feet." Ready to get back on the joyride? Yay!
