San Francisco Improv Festival: Asaf Ronen Master Class, Directing Improv
Improv might be the most challenging of the performing arts for a director to skillfully mold, and this class will show you how to get the most out of your improvisers whether in a class or a rehearsal. Techniques for creating lesson plans, orchestrating rehearsals, and giving notes will be explored.
Participants will be given the opportunity to apply the directing techniques through hands on experience, and at the end of the session there will be a Q&A to address personal concerns of the attendees.
ASAF RONEN has been involved in improv for 14 years, starting in college and working with NY Theatresports, NY ComedySportz and directing his own longform improv troupe, Hiatus, where he helped create original longform formats. Currently, he is directing the all-girl group GOGA and has produced critically acclaimed productions of The Mock, The Sickest F***ing Stories I Ever Heard and Death in the City, a dramatic longform improv piece, at the NY Fringe Festival.
Asaf has taught throughout NYC's public schools through LEAP and New Horizons and as part of Weist-Barron's ACTeen program and is a resident teacher at The Peoples Improv Theater.
He teaches improvisation nationally at festivals, through regional theaters and visiting with troupes to hone their skills. Asaf has also worked with Cirque du Soleil as a talent scout. In addition, he is Editor-in-Chief of YESand.com and has recently written the book Directing Improv,: Show the Way by Getting Out of the Way.
