Scene Foundations | Impro Course with On the Fly
When: Wednesdays 7PM-9PM, June 4 to July 16 and Saturdays 1PM-3PM, June 7 to July 19
Where: Uni SA City West Campus, Barbara Hanrahan Building Adelaide. Click here for Google Maps
Pre-requisites: Completion of On the Fly's Intro to Impro course or equivalent as discussed with the artistic director.
Tutors: Wednesday - TBA, Saturday - Dylan Haar
We've learned to embrace happy failure and be spontaneous, and now we want to tell stories.
What makes a scene compelling? How can we be attentive and inspiring scene partners with whom people love to play?
This brand new course will extend the ideas you learned in Intro to Impro and teach you the core elements that go into compelling scenes such as platform, character, and reincorporation. It will provide opportunity to practice performing and watching scenes with direction and feedback, so you can build your "scene sense" and improvise with confidence!
This is a core foundational course, and is intended to be taken directly after completion of Intro to Impro. This course draws heavily on the concepts and nomenclature used in Intro to Impro, so please get in touch if you have not completed that course recently and would like to enrol in this.

Where: TBA CBD
Pre-requisites: Completion of On the Fly's Intro to Impro and Scene Foundations courses, or equivalent as discussed with the artistic director.

Most of what’s communicated in life is non-verbal - and the same is true in impro.
Improvisers can make objects, convey characters’ emotions and build whole worlds using just their physicality.
This course explores the non-verbal elements of impro: from scene painting and object work to techniques that can be used to communicate whole stories without words. It also explores the core skill of how best to use the stage when telling a story.
Intended for improvisers in their first year with On the Fly, this is one of our core courses designed to give students a strong foundation in impro.

This course is not about that. It's about using games to understand, heighten and turbocharge your impro! Through the practice of short-form impro games, you will learn what these games are trying to teach us and how to play the game well. As the course continues you will apply these same lessons in your own open impro, learning to follow the fun and heighten your choices to create satisfying and hilarious scenework. In this game, we are all winners!
