Free-Form Improvisation, Boston Style

Participants: Level 3
Instructor: Will Luera
Sarasota/USA
The workshop will be taught in English

As improvisers we love the thrill of the uncertain. We love not knowing what lies ahead and we keep looking for a bigger challenge. This workshop will provide you with exactly that.

Imagine if every show was new. Not just new characters, new scenes: imagine that every performance had a wholly unique shape, completely different from the night before, a surprise even to ourselves. Yes, we can do this. And yes, we can learn how. Here. Will Luera introduces Big Bang’s approach to free-form improvisation, a unique style of play that will allow you to define your show’s form as it is being performed. You’ll learn how every single moment, beat, line and movement in a show can be deconstructed and used to lead you to the next scene. You’ll explore how this establishes a language and pattern that animates the show to give you a unique free-form performing experience every time you hit the stage. Challenge accepted?
