Class Description

Level 2 continues your study of scene work. You will learn how to choose and maintain a strong point of view, how to play more developed characters, and how to sustain longer scenes. You will then explore the next set of skills which include doing call backs and playing second and third beats. After this class you’ll be able to take on most long forms.

Instructor: Jamie Rivera

Jamie Rivera is a performer, writer, and director residing in Queens, New York and has been studying comedy since the year 2000. In 2011, he performed aboard the NCL Star with The Second City while cruising up and down the Alaskan coast. Currently, Jamie performs regularly with long running ensemble, Junior Varsity, as well as The Armando Diaz Experience at Magnet Theater. He's also directed shows such as Starship and The Nominated as well as house teams, Call Tokyo and The Flood, and teaches workshops on improvisation.
