Class Description

It all comes back. The La Ronde is a longform centered around a circle of characters and the ways their world's connect. Students will work on fostering connectivity between players and establishing strong grounded characters to create some powerfully funny scenes. To complement this circular form, students will be learning and performing, "in the round," with the performers in the center, and the audience arranged around them. Everyone's connected. It all comes back.

PREREQUISITES: Improv Level Three or Instructor Approval

Rick has taught workshops at improv festivals across the country, including the Boston Improv Festival, Baltimore Improv Festival, Black Box Atlanta, and many more. He co-produces Duofest, an annual festival of improv duos in Philly, PA. He has taught improvisation to people as old as 75 and as young as 6, and has done workshops for production companies and zoos alike.

He enjoys running, putting words on pages, thinking about the brain, and he loves improv more than anything.
