Class Description

A four-week advanced elective for BIPOC improvisers focused on diagnostic scenework, individualized feedback, and long-form technique. The class would alternate between stand-alone scene work and form-based reps so students receive notes both on the content of scenes and on structural choices like edits, timing, and other sideline support. Prerequisite: Students who self-identify as BIPOC, and who have completed Magnet Level 3 or instructor approval.

Instructor: Billy Soco
