Improv Skills Class: Stagecraft

March 31, 2015 by Aaron Pughes

We all have our stage. Scripted and improvised actors and stand-up comedians have an actual stage. Some of us play on the stage of everyday life, trying to speak and behave like “normal” human beings. Stagecraft is the technical skills of acting: blocking, vocals, physicality. These are the skills that help keep an audience engaged so they will listen to what you’re saying.

June’s Improv Skills Drop-In improv classes are focused on training your stagecraft skills to be a more dynamic performer and speaker. Topics to be covered include: physicality, space work, vocals, and theatricality.


 

WHERE: HiFi COOP, 2nd Floor, Ward Warehouse, 1050 Ala Moana Blvd STE. 2580, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
WHEN: Every Tuesday in April
TIMES: 7:30pm
TICKETS: $10/class or $35 for the month Classes start promptly at 7:30 every Tuesday. Classes run until 9:30.


 

Our Improv Skills are every Tuesday and open to everyone regardless of improv experience level.  If you’ve never improvised before, that’s great!  Our instructors are gentle and have plenty of experience to share.

Drop-in Improv Classes are held every Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30.

For questions or more information on classes: e-mail us at info@thinkfastimprov.com or call Aaron at (808) 728-7146.
