IMPROV FOR SCENE WORK: The Art of Authenticity
Class dates and times: Sundays beginning September 28th from 11am - 2pm (8 Week Class)
Teacher: Denny Siegel (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Curb Your Enthusiasm)
This class reinforces the fundamentals of improv, but also takes students to the next level, focusing on scene work grounded in authenticity, relationships and connection. Students will be gently guided out of their comfort zones and “easy choices,” into deeper work, with world-building and humor coming from a grounded place of emotional truth.
These skills support not only long and short-form improv, but also instill the tools and confidence needed to make strong impromptu choices at auditions and on set. Participants will also discover how the skills learned—such as acceptance, vulnerability, and collaboration—extend beyond the stage to enrich everyday interactions.
The class also reinforces the fundamentals of improv through fun games, culminating in a public showcase that offers students an opportunity to demonstrate their growth in a supportive environment.
Skills learned by the end of the course include:
· Embracing spontaneity and making bold creative choices.
· Active listening and memory retention for cohesive storytelling.
· The importance of choosing high stakes and detailed specifics.
· Spatial awareness to create believable scenes.
· Expressing and heightening emotions authentically.
· Collaborating generously with scene partners.
· Confidently improvising and performing in front of an audience.
