Advanced Improvisation: Game of the Scene — DRA4380.01

Spring 2026
Instructor: Shawtane Bowen
Days & Time: TH 1:40pm-5:20pm
Credits: 4

This course is an in-depth exploration of improvised comedy scene work, with a central focus on finding and playing “Game.” Game is loosely defined as a pattern of unusual behavior that breaks from the pattern of your everyday life. In other words, Game is what's funny about your scene.

To play Game in a long-form scene, you’ll learn to answer three key questions:

  • What is the situation?

  • What is the first unusual thing?

  • If this is true, then what else is true?
