Class Description

In this six week class we'll be working together on the fundamentals of scene work to generate grounded and lifelike material for a fully scripted revue performance (although no physical writing will be required!). It's not improv to sketch, and it's not playwriting. Instead, we'll be creating a showcase for student actors to develop quality scenes and monologues presented in a classic revue format. This showcase will be presented on the Magnet MainStage.

Instructor: Louis Kornfeld

Louis Kornfeld began improvising way back in 2003, when both his phone and online presence were at the forefront of millennium culture. He's been a proud member of the Magnet Theater since it opened its doors, having logged countless hours as a performer, intern, house manager, member of 'The Boss,' Megawatt director, and (for the past fifteen years) teacher of improvisation. What can he say? He loves it.

In addition to improv, Louis is also an award winning writer and actor whose work is routinely featured on 'The Truth' podcast. Check it out, why don't you?

You can see him performing every Sunday night with the great Rick Andrews in 'Kornfeld & Andrews.' They have some short videos online you might enjoy.

He thinks you're doing great.
