Intro to Improv: Say 'Yes, And...' Improve Your Craft

Did you know that Improv is a great skill set that can help improve your writing, your directing, your acting and even your life? Well, it can and this webinar is going to show you how. 

Jordan Peele, Tina Fey, Bob Odenkirk, Catherine O'Hara, Bowen Yang, Stephen Colbert, Adam McKay, Amy Poehler, Kumail Nanjiani… The list of entertainers who got their start in improvisation, or "improv," is endless, with many becoming well-known writers, directors, and producers. In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you'll get a crash course in how improv works and the many ways that you can successfully apply it to your work.

Walking you through this tried-and-true practice is Sean Blodgett, an actor, producer, director, editor, and content creator, who has worked in entertainment for over 25 years. Sean has worked on hit shows with stars that include Chris Pratt, Tony Shalhoub, Jon Hamm, and many more. He is also an accomplished editor and cinematographer, receiving awards from multiple festivals for his work on films and web series.

You'll cover how writers use improv to develop their work and directors generate a better atmosphere on set that's open to experimenting and taking risks. And while you might not be on a stage together, you'll practice these skills by interacting with your classmates in virtual group exercises.

By the end of this webinar, you'll have the tools to advance your performing, writing, or directing skills by learning how to take creative risks and being open to what comes your way. You'll learn how to be aware, present, and respond honestly to any moment. You'll stop second-guessing and blocking your creative flow as you learn improv games and exercises to open your mind and improve your given craft.
