Four Week 401 level courses

[tanouye]

Hi everyone,

In case you don't monitor all the upcoming thread courses, I wanted to let you know we are now offering four-week courses at the 401 level with different concentrations. The pre-requisite for these is the completion of Improv 401

Improv 410 - Game Focus - A four-week workshop focusing on Game of the Scene. If you were told "work on playing game" this course will help you play truthfully, find games, make productive justifications. No class shows.
Improv 411 - Performance Focus - A four-week workshop focusing on improving your range as a performer. This includes: confidence, character, acting. No class shows.
Improv 412 - Listening and Reacting Focus - A four-week workshop focusing on scenework basics. Think of it as advanced agreement: truthful, cooperative and active yes-anding. No class shows.


If you applied for Advanced Study after completing Improv 401, you can reapply for Advanced Study after one of these courses, but generally you should only do that if you've taken 410 level course that directly addresses what your most recent Improv 401 teacher said you need to focus on.

For instance, if your teacher said you really need to work on game, and you took Improv 411 (Performance Focus), then it's not worth reapplying for Advanced Study.

I think this is a really awesome idea. A great chance to specialize to help people, may gum up the 401s less. Good choice on the reapply thing too.

Also, would you mind making this a "sticky" or highlighted topic? A lot of my friends still didn't know about this change until I told them and I really feel like it would influence more people's choices in class.

EDIT: voila!

Can you take one of these 4 week courses concurrently with a 401?

Can you take one of these 4 week courses concurrently with a 401?

As long as you have previously completed Improv 401. But it'd probably be better to take the four-week course between 401s.

Will more of these 4 weekers (evening sessions) be offered soon?

Thanks

Will these specialized 401s be available again or were they only a test?

Thanks!

I saw UCBLA also has a fourth 400+ course, 413: Exploring the Why. Will there be any plans to offer this in NY?

I took the 410 course with Kevin Hines. It was excellent and I made a great deal of progress. I had taken 401 three times but needed to focus on one thingl I highly recomend these 4 week courses and hope that UCB will continue offering them.

I'm wondering when/if more of the four week 401 level classes might be listed. I wanted to sign up for one before, but was going to be out of town for one of the weeks.

I hope these will come back for in the fall. -Thanks!
