Solo Improv is the ultimate expression of you and your true style in improv. Work with Stefan Gearhart to practice the skills that are universal to most solo pieces – character switching, listening to yourself, and aggressive choices – and also find out what will make your solo piece unique. This workshop will give you the confidence required to distinctly inhabit two or more characters or to even acknowledge characters that aren’t physically in front of you. We will also take a critical look at individual solo pieces you create in class.

 

What makes solo improv special is that everything that is your weakness in group work becomes your strength and everything that is your strength becomes doubly so, because the show is tailor-made to your passions. Solo improv practitioners find it strengthens their group work, as they’ve learned to make offers clearly and treat them as absolutely life and death.

 

At least 1 year of improv experience needed. Come and have fun with Improv 502!
