Improvisation as a tool for acting and directing

Structured improvisation and acting exercises to develop performance skills. These improvisations are chosen for verbal and imaginative flexibility and to heighten the actor's sense of reality. The student will also deal with the basic elements of improvisations. Exercises developing creative imagination, analysis of objectives, responsibility toward the scene as a whole and towards each other as actors.
Students will work on object exercises that could be applied to scene or monologue work to find specific and detailed identification with the character.
The goal is to begin assembling a practical set of tools for handling a range of acting and directing problems and to discover and begin to work from one's own sense of truth.
