Level 3: Characters

Service Description

This class will give you the tools to create original characters in the moment, using physical, vocal and emotional aspects to find a point of view.

About TA Addison Houle: When it comes to improv, Addison is fine at what he does. We keep him around because he would cry if we let him go. We don't want that on our conscience. Born in 1830, Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist, Camille Pissarro is best known for his painting and inventing the skateboard. When he wasn't at it with his brushes, he was grinding rails and perfecting the kick flip. His skills on the board were second to none, and he was almost sent to live a life of solitude because he was so rad. In a recent interview he told us, "not only is a canvas my canvas, but so is any surface fit for my board. I feel completely free with the wind in my hair, or when I'm watching Speed 2: Cruise Control." Addison doesn't know how to skateboard. He'll never be as cool as Camille Pissarro.
