Honing your improvising skills for all eventualities
The Theater Scene with
Dra Lourdes Qiujada
If you think you have a hidden talent for acting, or maybe need to hone your skills for a confrontation with the boss, a domestic dispute, or when looking for a job, Panama’s Ancon Theatre Guild might have the answer.
They are offering what they politely call an "inspirational experience?" What they are really talking about is improvisational (improv) acting which could be the answer to all of the previously mentioned scenarios, including the first, with the chance to be a part of the TGA’s 2012 Improv8 show?
The TGA’s improvisation troupe ‘Improv8’ are going to be holding their second Beginners Improv Course this month
The six week course is suitable for those aged 16 and upwards, and if you haven’t yet learned the dramatic techniques of a quick response to get you out of a tight corner, now could be the time.
The course starts Tuesday March 15 and runs once a week through April 19.
It will focus on learning the basics of improvisational acting and how to successfully use the technique within a performance.
The sessions will also use the performance style of theatre sports, using games, exercises, rules and quirks to create short comic performances.
How that will fit in with the boss confrontation, is uncertain, although laughter can break down walls.
The course also offers the opportunity to audition to become an ‘Improv8’ actor and join the troupe.
for the 2012 show.
All course members will be get audition invitationat year end
There will be a 7th bonus session (free of charge!) at the end of the course but the date is not yet confirmed.
