Narrative Improv 1 - Introduction to Narrative Improv
Learn how to create spontaneous stories live on stage. Although narrative improv uses similar techniques as other styles, it follows different patterns — and this 8-week course introduces you to the essential skills to do it confidently.
By the end of the course, you will know how to create fascinating and spontaneous stories on the spot. In addition, you will have exercised skills in building engaging worlds, story structure, and how to follow consequential actions to create a narrative, as well as learn the characteristics necessary for a good protagonist.
🧭 Who is this course for?
For improvisers with longform practice or performance experience. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should feel confident holding your own in two-person scenes, editing scenes, and making connections across a show.
You’re likely a great fit if you:
- Have completed at least 3 courses of longform improv training
- Can sustain 2-person scenes, make callbacks, and play actively within a team
- Have practiced or performed longform formats like the Armando, Montage, Harold, etc.
