DRA 102 - Improvisational Comedy

Designed for both performers and non-performers alike, students develop their skills as improvisational comedians, public speakers, active listeners and collaborators. This course covers the fundamentals of both short-form and long-form improvisational comedy, character work, object work, and sketch writing, while providing an historical context. Students learn to craft their own true artistic voice, be quick on their feet, support their scene partners, and to bring a positive and constructive attitude to a supportive classroom environment. The course culminates in a live public performance. Satisfies the Aesthetic Awareness and Creative Expression General Education requirement.
