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.

Do you find that your impro scenes are too short? External edits are cramping your style? Your characters aren't living out their full potential in the time they have?

Try Monoscenes! Monoscenes are extended scenes set in a single location in real time. They can go for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, or even longer. 

In this course we will play with this form, and discover the ins and outs of what makes them work. You'll work on your listening, pacing, timing and character skills, and get plenty of opportunity to practice.
