Improv 2: Authentic Relationships
(Please scroll down for all available sections.)
Six Week Course | Adults Only (18+)
The heart of great improvisation is the two-person scene. At Leela, we believe that authentic relationships—onstage and in life—are essential to meaningful, connected co-creation. In this Level 2 course, you’ll build on the foundations from Improv 1 by diving deeper into emotional presence, listening, and relationship-driven scene work.
Through acting exercises that explore wants/objectives, specificity, emotional receptivity, and moment-to-moment responsiveness, you’ll develop heightened, multi-sensory awareness and learn to create grounded, truthful scenes with your partners.
Over 6 weeks you’ll learn techniques to:
- Build emotionally honest, relationship-centered scenes
- Identify and play character wants/objectives
- Bring specificity and detail to your choices
- Respond with genuine emotional presence
- Increase multi-sensory awareness in scenes
- Co-create with depth, nuance, and authentic connection
