AP2: Beginning Annoyance Philosophy - Initiations
AP2 is an immersive examination of The Annoyance philosophy on, and approach to, improv. AP2 focuses on decisive initiations and a strong point of view. This class focuses on the first seconds of scenes and explores how they affect the rest of the scene.
In AP2, you will cover:
- Personal responsibility in a scene − taking care of yourself and your choices
- Trusting instincts
- Creating/Finding “Your Deal” at the top of the scene
- Beginning character development
- Object work as inspiration
- Environment as inspiration
- The responsibility of operating without censorship.
- Individual feedback and tendencies
This class will culminate in an optional student showcase at The Annoyance on the final Sunday of the term.
