Class Description

Fairy tales are mysteries that talk to us from our distant past. And as part of an oral tradition going back thousands of years, they come most alive when spoken or acted out loud. In this ten-week class we’ll use a combination of readings and improvisational techniques to bring some of these impenetrable but oddly meaningful stories to life, opening a part of ourselves in the process to the wisdom and warnings of a very old world. Prerequisite: Level 4 or higher.

Instructor: Louis Kornfeld

Louis Kornfeld began improvising way back in 2003, when both his phone and online presence were at the forefront of millennium culture. 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 fifteen years) teacher of improvisation. What can he say? He loves 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 short videos online you might enjoy.

He thinks you're doing great.
