Class description

The Scene course is all about how we build connections with each other and create strong relationships. Within the framework of 2-person improv scene exercises, we look at the key stages in how we develop bonds between individuals/characters in order that they are invested in and care about each other, and then how we can take the ordinary about them and make it extraordinary - and very funny.

This requires us as improvisers to be observant and attentive to each other and to build on one another’s contributions to decide: who these characters are; why we are seeing them; how they feel about each other; and how we, the audience, feel about them.

You’ll learn:

How to create strong connections between characters

How to choose what the funny focus of the scene is

How to support your colleagues from the sideline

How to create a comedic dynamic between two characters

2-person scenic short-form games

All our standard courses run for 8 weeks (1 class per week lasting 2 hours). Classes are either in the evening on weekdays or during the day on weekends.

Included in your the Scene course are the following:

  • A free field trip with your fellow students and teacher to see a show at the theatre
  • An ICC Student card that gives you free entrance to nICCe Sundays shows and discounts at the bar at the ICC Theatre

    • Practical Information: All of our courses are conducted in a safe and very supportive way by our experienced ICC teachers. Participants are kindly requested to bring personal water from home for all classes.
