7:30 PM The Advanced Scenework Intensive Presents: Advanced Scenery Work
Mark’s “Advanced Scenework Intensive” class misread the title. Now, in addition to focusing on emotional beats and character’s relationships, they’re becoming chairs, lamp posts, or possibly the entire skyline of New York City in order to create the intense scenery an improv scene might need to be successful. Watch as these improvisers use their bodies to create elaborate psychical scenery for grounded scenes to take place in.
