How to Be a Jerk with Louis Kornfeld
Class Description
It goes without saying that we should be generous and supportive improvisers. That we should listen, take our time, and choose to care about our scene partners. But we also shouldn't be afraid of being funny, too! In this briskly short two week workshop we'll explore some simple techniques for tapping our own inner annoying selves and unlocking the funny that comes when we ask ourselves "where's my ego in all this?" Max 16 people. Level 3 Prerequisite.
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.
