This class is intended for intermediate/advanced improvisers (18 & older) with some prior improv experience.

How do you hold scenes for longer than 5 minutes without the air leaving the room?

In this workshop, we work on the core tenets of longer-form scenes. And, no, this doesn't necessarily mean narrative (though it can). 

We'll introduce strategies to help you:

We'll be doing some longer scenes. And, if we feel like it, we may dabble in light narrative lecture. 

But. Most importantly. It's easy to feel like you need to rush through your 'prov. In this workshop, we're going to try something different, see what happens, and put some strategies in your backpocket for a (hopefully) more fulfilled creative life. Slow-prov forever!

KENNY MADISON has been doing improv for 15 years and coaching/teaching for 8 of those years. He currently teaches at Hideout Theatre and has done mainstages at Coldtowne, Hideout, Fallout, and directed 3 shows at The Institution Theater (RIP). In 2024, he directed "What Next?" for FronteraFest's Free Fringe with Gloria Rabil. That made it into Best of Week, which is pretty cool. With Heidi Rogers, he performs as one-half of Kenny/Rogers, which was accepted into the Del Close Marathon in 2018 and tours whenever they can. They currently have a monthly show as the hosts/producers of the After Dark LIVE Adult Comedy Show in Austin. Whenever he is not keeping busy with that, he's 1/3 of Lasso Cast, a Ted Lasso podcast where he talks with critics, crew, and castmembers from the Emmy Award winning show Ted Lasso. And he also co-hosts the Trek Wars Podcast, which goes through both Star Trek and Star Wars in chronological release order. When he's not doing any of that, he sleeps.
