Class Description

It goes without saying that we should be generous and supportive improvisers. That we should listen, take our time, and choose to care about our scene partners. But we also shouldn't be afraid of being funny, too! In this briskly short two week workshop we'll explore some simple techniques for tapping our own inner annoying selves and unlocking the funny that comes when we ask ourselves "where's my ego in all this?" Max 16 people. Level 3 Prerequisite.

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.
