Veteran teacher and performer Paul Vaillancourt has logged more hours with the Improvised Movie than perhaps anyone on the planet and he is bringing all that experience to this class. In this 6 hour master class you are going to learn everything you need to know to improvise fun, exciting, on the fly movies in front of audience; story structure for coherent narratives, using camera angles to help tell (and sell) the story, working with the ensemble, techniques for making your characters more dynamic and engaging and how to bring special effects to life on stage.
