Spring is here, and Stomping Ground is rolling out a brand new workshop series to help you spring forward as an improviser and performer!
Each week, one of our instructors will dig into a topic or skill of their choosing! Students will refresh their improvisational toolbelt and add new tools to make their scenes both memorable and engaging for an audience. This class is recommended for students with some improv experience and who have completed at least Level Three Improv at Stomping Ground or the equivalent.
This week’s topic is Dynamics of Absurdity in Scenes
Finding and playing the absurdity of the scene can be enjoyable for both the audience and the improviser and understanding the different possible dynamics between the normal and the absurd can keep us from going to Crazytown! This week’s Spring Forward drop-in class will focus on finding and playing the specific absurdity of the scene, whether it’s a straight/absurd character dynamic or two grounded characters in an absurd world. Students will practice playing these different kinds of dynamics intentionally and then identifying and playing them in a montage of scenes.
All sales are final. Classes are non-refundable but enrollment can be deferred to a future term. All students must adhere to policies in the Stomping Ground Student Handbook. Must be 18 years or older to enroll, unless otherwise stated.
