SUMMARY:IMPROV 301 (Mondays 6/8-7/20 @6:30pm-9:15pm)
DESCRIPTION:In Level 301 students will get an introduction to playing character in improv.  \n\nYou’ll learn the basics of how to get into character and sustain one and explore point of view. Students will learn how to use characters in scenes and with their scene partners. This level will prepare you for 501\, which is Advanced Character. \n\nPrerequisite: Level 201\nStudent Showcase:  Monday\, July 27th (subject to change)\n\nInstructor:  Asa Erlendson and Improv officially met in 2007 at Pitzer College in the group Without A Box. Things got hot and heavy when he co-founded a group called ImpRAWv in which he had a transcendent experience in an experiment called The Beehive (watch “My Dinner With Andre” to get the reference). When he moved back home to Denver in 2011\, Asa and Improv started going steady while at the Bovine Metropolis. First\, as a student\, and eventually as a coach and teacher. Things got really serious when he joined the group Governor Jack. With Governor Jack\, Asa was able to meet\, study with\, and perform with amazing improvisers from cities and schools all around the country while absconding to festivals in Denver\, and from New York City to Salt Lake City\, but no further West than that… yet. Since they first met\, Improv has introduced Asa to a variety of genres\, styles\, and forms. He can truly say he is a better person for knowing Improv. And even though he has messed around with sketch and has a growing friendship with stand-up\, his heart will always belong to Improv\, its community and all of its teachers and students.  \nClass Schedule:\n6/8 @6:30pm -9:15pm\n6/15 @6:30pm -9:15pm\n6/22@6:30pm -9:15pm\n6/29 @6:30pm -9:15pm\n7/6 @6:30pm -9:15pm\n7/13 @6:30pm -9:15pm\n7/20 @6:30pm -9:15pm
