Take any good improv scene and chances are they're using at least one of the big four "comedy dynamics". This course is designed to shortcut your way into understanding these powerful dynamics through exercises and experimentation, so that you can create more compelling, consistent, and FUNNY scenes.

In these 8 classes you'll learn how to identify and approach these fundamental comedy scene types:

1. The "Logical-Illogical" dynamic
2. The "Peas in a Pod" dynamic
3. The "Realistic/Slice of Life" dynamic
4. The "Alternate-Reality" dynamic

These core scene types will allow you to better navigate your scenes comedically while being a brilliant scene partner. And we'll not only teach you the best techniques to use with each one, you'll also learn what to avoid!

A great class for those who have a bit more experience and want to take it to the next level.
