Class Description

Doing a great ten minute scene is very different than doing a great one minute scene. This class will be focused on solid, grounded, two person scenes. We'll hone our listening and commitment skills and learn how to plumb the depths of our characters to get meaty, satisfying, hilarious scenes that last longer than a few minutes. This will be a rust-busting scenework heavy class focused on building our basic scenework chops and dropping our sense of panic in two person scene work. Prerequisite: Magnet Level 3 or Instructor approval.

Instructor: Rick Andrews

Rick Andrews is a teacher and performer at The Magnet Theater, and has been studying, performing, and teaching improvisation since 1999. He began improvising with Improv Boston, and continued with a stint in Saint Louis, MO. He has been fortunate to learn from many improv greats, including Armando Diaz, Ed Herbstman, Joe Bill, Mark Sutton, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, Will Luera, Jill Bernard, and more.

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.
