About the class:
Immersive is one of the fastest evolving fronts in modern theatre and acting in an immersive show is one of the most rewarding challenges an actor can undertake. To embody another person in the thick of an audience that could do or say anything is both terrifying, and one of the greatest rushes you can have as a performer.
To do it well requires a head for improv, the ability to learn and marshall information with ease, and the bravery to exist vulnerably under frequently bizarre conditions. Combining elements of classic acting techniques, improv, interacting, and even a few skills learned from con-artists, this class will take you through the immersive actor’s toolkit and get you to the next step of your journey in interactive performance.
