In this class students explore improvisation as a tool for the actor. Guided by the expert direction of a Piven teaching artist, students use theatre games to build ensemble and explore improvisation. They learn to apply the Piven Technique to scene work to bring spontaneity, deeper relationships, and realistic characterization to scripted scenes. Open to experienced and beginning students, and perfect for those who wish to use Piven’s training to heighten their performances in school, community, and professional plays.
