This 8-week workshop, the third in our Performance Series, 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.
