In our current world, the need for togetherness is profound. As artists, one of the best ways for us to build community is through letting go of the traditional (and currently impossible) ideas of theater making and instead creating collaboratively from the ground up.
In this class, you will spend 8 weeks making funny theater. Led by expert deviser and professional clown Zack Fine, you will use games, ensemble-building exercises, and improvisation to create stories collectively, culminating in a showing of a devised piece specifically built for the online platform.

About the online platform for this class:
Zoom Meeting is easy to start, join, and use to collaborate online in a personable way via desktop or mobile without complicated set-ups. The Zoom Meeting Host (your ESPA instructor or administrator) sends out a meeting link and at the time of your class, you just click the link to launch the virtual classroom via your web browser. In the Zoom Meeting, each participant can share their webcam so that you're not only hearing your instructor and classmates but seeing them too, making it feel similar to being in one of the studios at ESPA. Other exciting collaborative Zoom features include Breakout Rooms in which students can meet in smaller groups, "Raise Your Hand" feature to better facilitate balanced conversation, Video Sharing, and File Transfer for your assignments. If you can't log in via a computer, there are also options to phone into the meeting so you can still participate in the class even if you find yourself without computer or internet access. And Zoom has an Apple and Android app, making it possible to take part in class from any device.
