What’s this Class?
This workshop uses the theory of high-context vs. low-context cultures, and the concept of big "C" and small "c" in "culture" to re-explore the way we, as improvisers, approach culture elements in scenework and in troupe environment. The main 2 objectives are to (1) open the door of the consciousness of different kinds of cultures in the improv world, and (2) find a pace and a style of playing that welcomes your teammates to bring in more elements from their culture, but doesn't feel forced for ones in a slower pace.
Disclaimer: "Culture" in this workshop is not limited to only nationalities or ethnicities, but includes many ways to look at it (work culture, family culture, generation culture, urban culture...)
Who’s this for?
They should at least have the knowledge and skills on the fundamentals of improv, or ideally, feel comfortable with scenework.
