Elevating the Ensemble

Sundays, January 10 - February 7, 2 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Elevating the Ensemble (level 3) is a five-week workshop for improvisers ready to think beyond the individual scene. Over five 2.5-hour sessions you will develop the listening, craft, and ensemble awareness that long-form work demands. The class moves from open scene work into structured long-form containers such as montage, Armando, and others, for improvisers curious about where long-form formats can take them.

Students will leave with a deeper listening practice, a working vocabulary for heightening, editing, and scenic transformation, experience inside long-form containers, and sharper instincts for supporting the ensemble over their own impulse. An ensemble is not a group of improvisers performing at the same time. It's a group of improvisers listening at the same time. Come Play!

Prerequisites: Level 2 or equivalent experience in long-form, scene study, or character work. You should be comfortable making scenes, building with a partner, and working from a point of view.
