Brush up your Shakespeare, your Film Noir, your Tennessee Williams, and even your Oscar Wilde as you learn how to improvise in the style of the greats! This 8 - week course will spend two weeks on each of these four styles, combining Synergy Theater's unique appoach to long-form, improvisational theater with an in-depth look at:
- The historical context of the playwright, genre, or style
- The top ten signature characteristics of each
- Their unique theatrical devices and conventions
- Their typical characters, themes, and storylines
- Their unique use of language
- The personal world-view at the heart of their unique artistic voices
More than just parody, our Advanced Genre and Styles class will help to illuminate how great playwrights made great plays, and allow your styles work to be funnier, deeper, and closer to the original than ever before!
