Class description

LONGFORM: ARMANDO

Mondays 6pm-8:30pm (2.5 Hours)

September 21 - October 26 (5 Weeks, No Class Oct 12)

Have fun building your improv skills by diving into one of the most popular longform improv formats! The Armando has long been one of the most classic and accessible styles of advanced improvisation. The Armando draws from real life stories to inspire a series of improvised scenes and is the basis of a number of highly regarded improv productions (including Upright Citizen's Brigade's flagship show Asssscat).

Learn how to find comedic inspiration from real life, how to joyously and spontaneously create compelling scenes, and how to play with your fellow improvisors in a new way!

Goal: To advance knowledge and skill of longform improv concepts through the Armando form (a series of interconnected improv scenes inspired by true storytelling). This class includes an on-stage performance opportunity.
