203: ADVANCED FORMS, GENRE, AND NARRATIVE

Expand your improvisational range through the exploration of advanced scenic forms, theatrical genres, and narrative structures.  Students learn how individual scenes can connect to create a larger story, how characters and themes can return and evolve, and how an ensemble works together to build a unified performance in the moment. Training may include long-form structures, genre-based improvisation, group scenes, recurring characters, callbacks, transitions, and narrative development.  Musicality, rhythm, and spontaneous song may also be introduced as tools for strengthening ensemble awareness, expanding creative range, and encouraging fearless performance choices.  Level 203 asks students to move beyond the success of an individual scene and begin thinking like members of a complete performing ensemble.  The term culminates in a student performance featuring the forms, genres, and storytelling techniques explored in class.
