Improv is a beautiful art that leads to creativity, catharsis, and just all around better people. Not only that but sometimes it also leads to fame! Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell, Bill Murray, and Tina Fey are only some of the big names that have come out of improv. This course will focus on learning the fundamentals of doing long form improv. Long form consists of creating a montage of scenes based on one simple audience suggestion.
Students will learn a wide variety of techniques used by UCB, Second City, iO, and The Annoyance Theatre. Using exercises, notes, and examples students will acquire the blueprints for a successful improv scene.
To pass, students must watch a total of 4 UCB improv shows online, attend a total of 4 on campus improv shows and write reflections on them, and complete the 3 readings that will be assigned.

Students must show up to the first day of class, if there's too many I will then conduct interviews. The first day of class will be Monday, August 28
