Dates: This class runs Tuesdays from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, starting June 11th and running for 8 weeks. A showcase will be scheduled as an additional opportunity on an evening during the week of August 10th.
Patterns help us collaborate. Spontaneous group acceptance/collaboration impresses an audience more than individual cleverness. Pattern work rewards an audience for paying attention and enforces the idea that the show was made especially for them.
In our third level, we explore creating patterns and discovering games to propel your scenes forward. You'll get out of your head and into the show by focusing on your team and what they need.
