Purposeful unique staging is the way to make your scenes stand out and grab the audience's attention. The theater or spaces we perform in are our playgrounds and we should use all available space to create meaningful, funny and emotional improvised theatre.
With a focus on creative approaches to staging your scenes, we will look at numerous distinct ways improvisers can position themselves in their performance space and develop our own
