In level 5, students are exposed to a wide range of formats and styles. This course helps students discover what styles of play fit them best by rotating through a menu of different formats. In studying different formats, you begin to learn what structures create the kind of comedy you want to make, so you can find like minded improvisers and play with new and established troupes on the ColdTowne stage, outside of a class showcase.
