Theatre Thrills and Skills: Term Two
Improvisation - A Tool for Actors
with Sam Longley
Sam Longley, one of Perth’s finest actors and comedians as well as Artistic Director of ‘The Big Hoo-Haa’ is back for our Term Two Theatre Thrills & Skills Course.
If you have ever dropped a line and found yourself blank or been asked to go off script in an audition and panicked, then improvisation is a tool you need.
Improvisation is the art of making stuff up. Actors often get bound to scripts and lost in text interpretation and they forget to create. Improvisation can unlock the actor and free them up to explore characters, narrative and connections.
The course will look at spontaneity, creativity, character generation, scene building, narrative structure and having a laugh.
