THE 114 Theatre Practicum: Improv Ensemble
This course is designed to teach students how to encourage the development of an improvisation ensemble through collaborative methods. Students construct live performances based upon thematic suggestions from the audience. Further, students adapt and develop techniques that are audience-aware, incorporating contemporary, cultural references. Students manage the project in a hands-on method that mirrors the actual running of a performance ensemble including: conducting auditions, rehearsals, defining aesthetic considerations, scheduling and promoting performances. 12 (4 lecture hours and 6 laboratory hours) Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
