Amanda Wagner is a New Hampshire based actor with extensive experience in improvisation. She has studied improv at both The Groundlings and Second City in Los Angeles, was an actor in the Shakespearean improv troupe ‘Shakes on the Rocks’, and has experience in script development through improv because of her time with Occidental Children’s Theater. She is excited to share her love of improv with the Powerhouse family. With this workshop Amanda hopes to demystify the artform and show that anyone can do improv if they just have the courage to say YES.
This course is catered to both experienced improvisers and those who have no experience at all. The workshop will consist of improv games, exercises, and scenes that encourage working together and build individual confidence. The first four weeks will focus on the fundamentals of improvisation: following our instincts, listening to scene partners, and the use of ‘Yes And” to tell a story. The second four weeks will focus on developing a character and working together to create longer improvisation scenes. The first 4 weeks will conclude with a showcase for the Taylor Community residents, followed by a second showcase for the Taylor Community and invited guests at the end of the 8th week
