More attention to "Long form" improv is in this class, which takes on more of a theatrical feel, allowing the improvisers to explore longer scenes, while learning how to carry a scene on their own as well as advanced games. This class is ideal for actors and anyone with a solid base of improv. There will be a show on the last class.
