IMPROV: 2010 Summer Improv Intensive
Starts: Monday, June 28, 2010 @ 11:00 am
Now in its fifth year, our annual Summer Improv Intensive returns. Hailed at “the best five weeks of your life,” this intensive features the best teachers from ITC and guest instructors from DSI, iO, UCB and other improv schools whose names are acronyms.
The ITC Summer Improv Intensive is five weeks of hardcore, non-stop training in longform improv. Each week a different instructor will teach a different level of the ITC curriculum.
"Inspiring. The best experience I've had in more than eight years of improvising." (Alex Tindal)
Many of our past Summer Intensive students are now performing on ITC Harold teams. Once you have completed this intensive, you can audition for a spot on an ITC improv incubator team.
Week 1: Longform Improv Scenework
Week 2: Advanced Scenework Techniques
Week 3: Group Scenes and Ensemble Games
Week 4: The Harold
Week 5: Advanced Harold Workshop, Style and Technique
