Advanced Long-Form Improv Course Focuses on “Finding the Game” in Comedy Scenes
An eight-week advanced improvisation course in destination invites performers to move beyond individual scenes and explore the underlying structures that drive long-form comedic storytelling. The program centers on the concept of “the game,” a core principle used to identify and heighten the comedic idea within an improvised scene.
Participants are guided through techniques for recognizing patterns, amplifying recurring comedic elements, and building stronger ensemble awareness. The course emphasizes collaboration, teaching students how to support scene partners while maintaining clarity and momentum within evolving narratives.
Each weekly session includes targeted exercises designed to refine comedic instincts, including identifying standout ideas within a scene, justifying absurd premises to build believable worlds, and using contrast—such as playing the “straight man”—to enhance humor and structure.
By the end of the course, students are expected to confidently identify and develop the central comedic engine of a scene, ensuring each choice contributes to a cohesive performance. The program concludes with a final ensemble showcase, offering participants the opportunity to apply their skills in a fully improvised long-form performance.
