Now that you’ve been set up with the tools for successful scene work, it’s time to strengthen those skills and hone your comedic voice. Level Two will reinforce, revisit, and add nuance to your play, add strong character techniques, explore the concept of justification, and provide a foundational understanding of UCB-style "game-of-the-scene". We will work on recognizing the first unusual or interesting thing that emerges to build collaborative, honest scenes that highlight what you and your scene partner find funny, avoiding tropes and caricatures. Students with any previous long-form improv experience are welcome to register for this class.

*Kickstand's improv track is a five-level program followed by Advanced Study, where students can learn and apply their skills to different formats. Each week of class builds on the previous one, and each Level builds on the Level before. 

*Level 2 includes 6 weeks of instruction with 2.5 hours of instruction each week.
