Class Description

Team Performance Workshop is a crash course for students specifically interested in auditioning for Megawatt, Magnet's house team ensemble. The first section includes eight weeks of classes during which students are split into two eight-person groups. In the second section ensembles rehearse with a coach outside of class to produce a six week run of shows on the Magnet Mainstage. This class is offered approximately twice a year.

Note: The application process for Team Performance Workshop is extremely competitive and spots are limited. The sixteen most highly recommended students, based on feedback from all previous instructors, will be offered placement.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: noon on Fri (8/14)
NOTIFICATION DATE: Tue (8/25)

Instructor: Louis Kornfeld

Louis Kornfeld began improvising back in the sepia tinted days of 2003. 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 twenty years) teacher of improvisation. What can he say? He enjoys 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 podcasts you might enjoy.

He thinks you're doing great.
