SUMMARY:Advanced Acting for Improvisers with Cynthia Lair
DESCRIPTION:“The best way to find more honesty and depth in improvisational work is through repetition. In this advanced workshop\, we will continue making moment-to-moment responses more habitual. Pursuing wants in a variety of ways will be another focus. Applying these good practices to scenes that involve more than two performers allows for exploring more generosity and fuller stories. And lastly\, finding our way toward strong endings sparks satisfaction for the performer and the audience. We will work on all these techniques\, with care and respect\, in the advanced version of this helpful class\,” Cynthia Lair. \nPick up where you left off in Cynthia’s Acting for Improvisers in this Advanced class. Designed for students who studied with Cynthia\, continue refining your acting skills as an improviser in Advanced Acting for Improvisers. \nBring your improvised scenes to life and experience what it means to inhabit the characters you create fully. Learn to embrace the imaginary circumstances in which we improvise. \nThis workshop is designed to give improvisers space to practice simple techniques that help bring a deeper authenticity to scenes. Bringing acting skills to improv builds the connection between characters and forms a stronger bond with the audience. We will do this by looking closely at moments like how we pursue action and allow reaction. Bringing more reality to these helps create more compelling stories. \nAlong with techniques from other master acting teachers\, this class focuses on pursuing objectives that result in emotional responses as well as internal and external actions. Emphasis is placed on slowing down\, listening\, and allowing offers to land before responding honestly – moment-to-moment improv. Practicing these techniques can bring richness and reality to improvised scene work. \nAdvanced Acting for Improvisers \nDates: Aug 31\, Sept 7\, 14 and 21 \nTime: 10:30 am – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Unexpected Productions Improv School\, Georgetown Studios\, 650 South Orcas\, Suite Rm 217 Seattle\, WA 98108 https://goo.gl/CMCRQp \nMaximum Students: 14 \nCost: $150 \nPrerequisite: Improv 200 and Acting for Improvisers \nAges: 18+ \nInstructor: \nCynthia Lair began her life as an actress with a B.A. in theater.

SUMMARY:Seattle Theatresports Improv  2024
DESCRIPTION:As you enter the Gum Wall\, you’ll notice a buzz of excitement in the air. Everyone here is gathered to have a good time and laugh. Families of all ages are lining up at the concession stand\, where you can smell the fresh buttered popcorn\, and over at the bar\, they are serving icy and inexpensive drinks. \nWhen you enter the theater\, you’ll feel the music’s beat. You’re experiencing Theatresports\, a high-energy improv show where teams of improv professionals create spontaneous scenes that are so hilarious\, quick-witted\, and perfectly constructed that it’s hard to believe they are made up on the spot. \nJoin us every Friday and Saturday at the Gum Wall in Pike Place Market\, with doors opening at 9 PM and the show starting at 9:30 PM. \nTheaterSports\, all the way! They are goofy\, silly\, funny\, unabashed\, clever\, witty people. I didn’t know what to expect before going but found myself laughing at practically everything they did or said. This is improv comedy at its finest. Lea A.\, 5 stars\, Yelp
