Whether in use as a class/rehearsal exercise, an improvised show format or structure for a scripted one act play, The Ladder is a wonderful tool to hone an improviser’s focus to a razor sharp edge on what are the most important parts of a staged theatrical piece: character, relationship & story.
3 worlds. 12 characters. 21 scenes. Thousands of possibilities.
Pre-requisite: Third Coast Level 2
No matter what form your team is doing, it is important that you learn the basics of being able to appear to be performing a piece on purpose.
