An Alternate Approach to Scenework
with Bill Arnett
Saturday, May 20, 2-5pm (3 hours)
Taken from the pages of The Complete Improviser, this workshop will focus on finding and trusting the reality in the moments our improvisation uncovers. We’ll look to the rules of life rather than the rules of improvisation to help us relax, see the moments and play them hard.
