Narrative Improv with Jim Fishwick

This 4-week short course offers a grounding in the principles, skills and techniques of narrative improvisation. We’ll explore how to build story platforms, find a protagonist, be changed, raise the stakes, and tie everything together at the end.

Starting from simple story exercises, we’ll work towards being able to improvise a one-hour play by the end of the month.
