This course provides an in-depth exploration of improvisation as a vehicle for drama development, theatrical presentation and actor training. Students apply their skills in the development of comic and serious improvised scenes. They analyze scene structures and the historical use of improvisation in the development of theatre for socio-political and entertainment purposes. Students experiment with long forms of improvisation to develop a final presentation.
