Conservatory Performance: The Peel! with Rick Andrews
Class Description
In this six-week performance class we'll tackle a simple but maddeningly fun form called The Peel. A one person scene, followed by a two person scene, then a three person scene...all the way back up to eight. And then right back down again. It's the Russian nesting doll of improv forms, and a great chance to work group scenes, solo scenes, and physical transformations all in one!
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.
