This course is designed to prepare students for interactions not just on stage, but in job interviews, on sales calls, in boardrooms, and in any other high-pressure environment. Emphasis will be placed on proven and transferable improvisational acting skills. Students will learn and practice effective strategies for performing short-form improvisational theatre, approaching unfamiliar situations, interacting with a variety of personalities, and thinking and speaking in the moment. The course will be highly active and include regular discussions of cross-application of skills learned.
