Mapping scenes are where we treat one thing like it's another. It's an intervention, but about telling someone they need to stop taking selfies. Right? Let's go deep on this. We will use "as if" to expand what we can say yes to, what we relate to. This is slightly heady class, but also a fun one. This will work acting muscles, and you'll have to think about "why" your characters are doing things. But also the scenes are gonna be really fun!

Will is a founder of WGIS (World's Greatest Improv School). He has been teaching long-form improv since 2004 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, at both its New York and Los Angeles branches. He's published a best-selling book on improv called How to Be The Greatest Improviser on Earth. He's also a working comedic actor and has appeared on many terrific television programs (Brooklyn 99) and on some big podcasts (Comedy Bang-Bang) as well as the 99 podcasts he's produced himself (including Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk about the Beatles). And finally, if you want even MORE improv talk, you can read his popular online essays about improv at his substack, Improv Nonsense. Yep.
