Where Am I and What Am I Holding?

Want the chance to show off your new skills? Students who attend all four festival workshops will have their own special showcase on Sunday, March 31 at 5pm!

Are your scenes flat and two dimensional? Are they just two people standing still talking at each other? Are you looking for a way to add more dimension (and fun) to your scenes? In this class, veteran improviser and improv teacher Paul Vaillancourt will help you dig into environment and spacework to bring your scenes from two dimensional to three dimensional. You will learn easy-to-use techniques that will help you fill out the space and environment of the scene in a powerful and dynamic way that will allow you to use subtext, deepen your onstage relationships, create characters that are more interesting and memorable, and make your scenes more fun to watch (and do).

Paul Vaillancourt has been teaching and performing improv for over 30 years. In that time he has appeared all over the country including such notable venues as HBO’s Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Chicago’s iO (where he studied with the immortal Del Close), New York’s UCB Theater, and the iO West in Los Angeles (which he founded). Paul has also had success as an actor, writer, and producer creating and working on shows for a plethora of networks and outlets. He is the creator and host of “Improv Tips” on YouTube and the author of “The Triangle of the Scene: A simple, practical, powerful method for approaching improvisation” and the FREE book “5 Things Improvisers Can Do To Stay Creative, Feel Inspired and Have Fun!” He currently lives in LA with his wife, kids, and dogs, and he’s always up to talk about improv or action movies.
