Okay, let's try it....

Dramatic Improv Scenarios

This week, we will explore auditioning when there is no script available.  
This means there are no lines to memorize, but only a given scenario/situation for the actor to think about ahead of time. 
Knowing that Casting Director's will probably only give you one chance (maybe two with re-direction), means that the actor has to prepare to think quickly in the moment.
Explore the possible paths the story may go so you are not caught flat-footed in the back-and-forth. 
REMEMBER YOUR IMPROV SKILLS. Even though these are dramatic auditions, the same rules apply:
-Listen to your scene partners
-React with emotions
-Agree on what is true
-Make assumptions about the backstory

USE THE FILE BELOW to choose one of the six available scenarios. There are some prompts within each selection to help you prepare and brainstorm. Again, you do not have lines or know what will be said in the audition so you job is to be ready for anything. 

Good Luck,
Japheth

As usual, if you're confused, I can be contacted using the button at the bottom of this page.
