Solo Improv Performance Workshop with Asaf Ronen

Asaf · Post by **Asaf** » September 23rd, 2007, 1:46 pm

There is a format out there that exists for you specifically to shine in. That format exploits all the improvisational things that you love as well as some non-improvisational things. In this four-week course, you will craft that format from scratch and then have the opportunity to perform a 10-minute version of it. Along the way you will learn techniques in solo performance such as self-edits, doing solo multi-character scenes, and audience engagement. Even if you opt out of the performance side of the workshop, you will learn a lot about feeding your specific improv inner child and getting the most out of all future performances, regardless of how many people are on stage with you.

Taught by Asaf Ronen, Editor-in-Chief of YESand.com, and improv director, teacher and performer with 16 years experience teaching nationally and internationally as well as author of Directing Improv: Show the Way by Getting Out of the Way.

So far I have a handful of people but could use more.

I know there were folks who were interested before I posted the specific details.

If you are interested but cannot attend this time around, let me know, and whatever reasons there might be, so I can figure things out differently should I launch another round of these classes.

I'm going to look and see if it's feasible for me to do it. It looks like a great class.

I hope there are enough people for this solo show class! I'm really looking forward to it.

I need to fill two more slots to keep from cancelling the workshop. So those of you who spoke to me earlier in the week of maybe wanting to do it, please confirm with me one way or the other. I will be making a decision by Wednesday on whether it is a go.

Thanks.

There's a chance I could do this, seeing as it's right before my level 3 class, I've always wanted to nail solo improv, Asaf happens to be one of my favorite improv mentors, and knowing solo improv could lead to more show opportunities.

Nosce te ipsum.
