CLASS SIZE: 16 students maximum
CLASS LENGTH: 4 hours
Prerequisite: Foundation 3 and above
As improvisers, we talk a lot about “being in the moment,” but
most of the time we’re so busy looking for "offers" (or coming up
with our own ideas) that we don’t notice what’s happening right in
front of us. In The Art of Noticing, Tracy will give you tools and
techniques to focus your attention that will not only keep you in the
moment but will help you play with wild abandon and connect to what
truly inspires you most. Your scenes will become effortless, playful
and more often than not, hilariously surprising. Whether you’re a
seasoned improviser or relatively new, scene work has never been this
easy!
In this class students will explore:
* Letting go of the “rules” of improv
* Broadening your curiosity
* Replacing Invention with Discovery
* Expanding your idea of what constitutes a “good” scene
* Building trust in yourself even if you don’t trust your scene
partner
* Having a strong point of view
* Understanding that scenes happen whether or not you create them
* Going nuts, having fun and surprising yourself!
