201: Game of the Scene


  • Mettlesome 800 Taylor Street, Suite 9-156 Durham, NC, 27701 United States (map)

Learn the core concepts of longform comedic improv. Students will cover scene-work mechanics like editing, tag-outs and heightening in the context of game of the scene. Over this seven-week period, we'll build the groundwork for comedic moves that will elevate your scenes.

Classes every Monday, April 24 - June 12 (skipping May 29 for Memorial Day). Class show TBD.

Prerequisites: Students are required to have taken Mettlesome's 101: Intro to Improv. Students wishing to apply for an exception (ie who have documented prior, relevant improv experience) may do so by emailing hello[at]thisismettlesome.com
