David Raitt, author of The Improv Illusionist, is in town for one day only!  

Improv Illusions
Saturday, Feb 8, Noon-2:30pm

Level up your physical improv skills! In this workshop you’ll learn some easy-to-practice techniques for object work, environment, and physicality. Topics we’ll explore include performing realistic-looking activities, discovering ideas from the environment, playing safely, and how to turn the stage into your playground. You don’t have to be a mime or acrobat, and you don’t have to change how you improvise. Physical improv is a multiplier that makes your improv more interesting, immersive, and FUN! Workshop suitable for improvisers of all experience levels who are comfortable with stage performance.

(Following the workshop, limited copies of Dave’s book, The Improv Illusionist, will be available for purchase for $20 (cash or PayPal). Reading the book is NOT required for the class.)

$40-69 (pay-what-you-can) / 2.5 hours / Limited Space / Class is held at the Hideout Theatre downtown
