Scene/Character Intensive by Al Samuels (Baby Wants Candy, Second City Mainstage)

This will be a 3 hour workshop with direct, brutal yet loving feedback. You will leave with many more tools in your improv toolbox -strong initiations and finding the game to build excellent scenes, characters & relationships much more quickly. You will also receive personal notes on your own strengths and areas for improvement.

This workshop will build on the existing work that you have been exposed to in long-form. Previous improv experience is required - we will cover a lot of ground!

Al Samuels (Baby Wants Candy, Second City Tourco, Second City Mainstage) has taught improv for over 14 years in Chicago, NY and LA and is always a perennial favorite long form teacher and coach. With Baby Wants Candy, he has performed in 6 Edinburgh Fringes. He appeared on the NBC comedy "Sports Action Team" and currently has a pilot in development at Comedy Central.

One of his favorite things to teach is scene work, as he sees this as the building block of all good long form.

12-3PM Saturday, June 23
Location: The Nursery, Arch 61, Great Suffolk Street SE1 0NR
Cost £25

    Fantastic session! Thanks for organising it!

    Al is in the top 5 improviser performers ever. I've seen him perform live and i've seen him in Chicago and Edinburgh. I'm including the British and American Whose Line running order and the iO, Chicago Second City main stage performers all in my top 100. Al is number 5!

    As a teacher of improvisation he's in the top 3! Yes! And i've been trained by EVERYONE! He's succint, humane, calm, generous, fun, pragmatic and as a top performer, he does know his subject. Plus he's got humility. If I was as good as him - i'd be a Whitney Diva!
