IMPROV 202: Advanced Scene Study

Starts: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 @ 6:30 pm

This course focuses on advancing the two-person scene and furthers the students’ understanding of “the game” of the scene.

Students are given more individual attention and critique regarding character creation, environment and object work, and their own ability to identify, heighten and explore the game of the scene.

This course will allow you to play more assertively and with improved confidence in your scene skills. You will not have to worry about getting out of your head because you will learn to avoid getting into your head in the first place. You will have a greater understanding and appreciation for the necessity, subtleties and nuances of the game of the scene.

You will learn to provide greater detail in your scenes by making specific choices. You will better engage and connect with your scene partners, emotionally and physically. You will heighten your awareness level by improving your listening and fully understanding the context of the scene.

This course is a new, required course in the ITC core curriculum. It is also recommended for upper level students to who want to strengthen their core skills and have a more thorough understanding of the game of the scene.
Pre-requisite:
Successful completion of IMPROV 201 or pre-approval.

Instructor: Annie Bankes

Annie Bankes

As a native Ajax-ian, Annie grew weary of sunny skies and green pastures, and turned to Toronto in search of smog and traffic delays. She began her improv career by accident at The Second City Toronto. After completing Second City's training program, Annie started at the ITC where she was fortunate enough to study under many great instructors including artistic director Kevin Patrick Robbins and Alison Hogg.

Annie has also trained with Pat O'Brian, Jason R. Chin and Jeff Griggs (i.O Chicago); as well as Eric Hunicutt (i.O. West, LA), Rich Talarico (SNL, MadTV), Susan Messing (Annoyance Theatre), and i.O Theatre's co-founder and improv guru Charna Halpern.

Annie currently performs weekly with the uproarious femme-fatale team WDWMKR, and is a cast member of ITC's flagship show Munchausen. Outside of improv, Annie is an avid collector of degrees and diplomas, and currently possesses a diploma in Film and Television Production, as well as a Counseling diploma, half a Psych degree, and is working on a degree in Social Work.
