LEVEL 3 - The Armando Diaz
What will we cover?
The Armando Diaz is the most popular Longform Improv format, as performed by the USA’s top Improvisation team 'The Upright Citizens Brigade' (UCB). Catch their Youtube show ‘Assssscat’, to see how we will be learning to perform monologues inspired by suggestions from the audience, and developing moving and hilarious scenes inspired from these monologues.
NOTE: Improv is all about supporting each other... we never find humour by picking on anyone, or anyone in the audience.
