Through exercises and practice, students will work to understand their bodies on stage, how spacing and audience perspective affect performance, and how to play with those tools.  The prerequisite for this class is Level Four Improv at Stomping Ground Comedy Theater or equivalent training at another theater with permission from the Training Center Director. This class does not include a showcase. Please note that completion of this course does not authorize or certify students to train or coach others in stage combat.  Topics in the Course Include:Knowing when it is safe to make contact with a fellow improviserHow to "sell" a no-contact combat move on stage, keeping safety first!Understanding spacing and audience perspective in performance.Using bodies in space to tell stories on stage.About the Instructor:Audrey is a director, performer, and teacher who has been improvising since 2013 and teaching Improv since 2018.
