All classes are at the SF Playhouse Stage 2 in San Francisco. Classes 1, 2, 4, and 5 are $40 each or $120 for all four of them togeather. Each class starts at noon and runs for 3 hours (except class 3). Please e mail an instructor to sign up for a class or for more information.
Class 1: Sunday, October 8 -- Genres! Part 1
Go beyond the cliches! We'll explore the characters, environments, and acting style of a variety of genres, so we can practice living in a world, instead of just visiting. Genres Part 1 is likely to include literary and historical genres, such as Shakespeare.
Taught by: Mandy Khoshnevisan, mandy@un-scripted.com
Class 2: Sunday, October 15 -- Genres! Part 2
Go beyond the cliches! We'll explore the characters, environments, and acting style of a variety of genres, so we can practice living in a world, instead of just visiting. Genres Part 2 is likely to include the wide realm of science fiction and adventure.
Taught by: Dave Dyson, dave@un-scripted.com
Class 3: Saturday, October 21 -- Improvising Arthur Miller!
Get up close and personal with the dark side of the American Dream. Afterwards you'll have the opportunity to see one of Arthur Miller's later plays, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan, performed at the SF Playhouse. Your ticket to the show is included in the price of the class!
Taught by: Tara McDonough, tara@un-scripted.com
Class 4: Sunday, October 22 -- Protagonist!
Who's the story about? In this class, we'll do scenes in all kinds of genres, with a focus on how to find the protagonist, and then figure out who's with them--and who's against. We'll work on how all that stuff called "acting" works on the improv stage.
Taught by: Christian Utzman, christian@un-scripted.com
Class 5: Sunday, October 29 -- Style-Matching!
Style-Matching is one of the most valuable skills we use at the Un-Scripted Theater Company. What kind of scene am I in? What kind of show am I in? What kind of improvisors am I on stage with? What kind of improvisor am I? You'll learn to follow the clues and figure it out. Hone your style-matching skills, and watch as genres magically appear!
