Building on the improv foundational skills learned in F1-F3, now the improvisers will learn scene structure and acting skills that will help them create story on the spot. In Foundation 4 improvisers will learn: Identifying the basic information of the scene. Who are these characters, how do they know each other, where are they and why are they there? How to effectively start scenes, build them in the middle, and successfully “land the plane.” How to embody the basic information of the scene. How can we as actors, shift our body, face, voice and imagination to establish and support the world we are creating. Basic acting skills that lend themselves to believable storytelling. At the end of F4, the coach will make a recommendation for each student about what the next step is best — repeating F4, going to the Improv Gym to hone specific skills, or moving to F5: Narrative.
