About the Class: Welcome to Lancaster Improv Players' 201 class! This 8-week long course focuses on the more advanced skills of long-form Improv. Students will learn skills which include game of a scene, second beats, heightening, and advanced character work. This class focuses on teaching a ton of scene work skills and will help improvisers think beyond the scene they are in. The class ends with a graduation show where the students can show their friends and family the skills learned. This class does require Improv 101 as a prerequisite or director approval. Sign ups end Saturday 5/11 at noon!
Class Schedule: This class runs for two and a half (2.5) hours for eight (8) sessions on Mondays from 7pm-9:30pm. Those dates are 5/13, 5/20, (NO CLASS 5/27 for Memorial Day), 6/3, 6/10, 6/17, 6/24, 7/1 and 7/8. There will be a class show on Saturday 7/13 at 5pm.
About the Teacher: : Scott Harvey began attending early Lancaster Improv Players’ shows in 2015 before joining the troupe himself in 2018. Scott was one of LIP’s first students and has since completed LIP’s full curriculum. He coached LIP’s First Friday team “Minimum Rage/First Base” through both the pandemic and the Before Times. Scott taught high school English for six years before becoming an instructional designer. When he is not working or practicing improv, he is probably listening to the improv comedy podcasts Hollywood Handbook or The Teacher’s Lounge.
