| Movie Analysis
for Improv Templates |
| |
Summary |
This workshop invites advanced
improvisors to watch scenes from their favorite
movies and then challenges them to discover the
underlying structures that make the scene work.
Players are taught how to distill favorite scenes
and dialogue into structural templates and then
put the templates to work in applied improvised
scene work. Movie-form templates restock the
improvisor's toolbox and teach the improvisor how
to tap an under-utilized source of inspiration
for improvised scene work. |
