This workshop condenses the full content of our 8-week Performance Workshop 3 series into 4 sessions with an intensive schedule. You’ll dive into the work and play of learning long-form skills in three 7-hour sessions and one 3-hour session. The Performance Workshop 3: Elements of Long Form, prepares you for your first Long-Form performance in front of an audience by breaking down and covering these different core elements of performance: 

• Taking your time and paying attention
• Narrative, and establishing a strong foundation
• Acting
• Improvising in genre
• Transitions between scenes
• Ensemble acting
• Building locations and maintaining a space object world

This class will qualify you to be considered for more advanced work as it will give you a grounding in the essential elements of Long-Form improvisation as BATS practices it.
