SUMMARY:Improv Youth Ensemble Term 1 2025 Wed 4:30pm
DESCRIPTION:JUMP TO REGISTRATION \n‘If you believe you’re good already\, you don’t need to do extra stuff to impress us. Your best work comes when you’re absorbed; because then your ego is away.’ – Keith Johnstone  \nThis course will examine more niche areas of improvisation like genre work\, status\, puppetry\, mime\, and more advanced scene-work. As a small ensemble you will work towards a wholly original showcase performance with discovery at the heart of the course! \nImprov Youth Ensemble is for performers who are comfortable and proficient performing in a variety of games and exercises on stage. Acceptance into advanced improvisation is by audition or recommendation only.
