Saturday Afternoon Workshop (2.5hrs)
What to do in a Scene That’s Unenjoyable, Uncomfortable, or Potentially Harmful
w/Asaf Ronen
We’ve all been in THAT scene. The one with the uh-oh moments that pulls us out of the scene, makes us worry, feels out of our control. Well, it doesn’t have to. Learn how to reset your default responses to those moments in a way that helps you regain the fun of the scene. Fill your go-bag with tools that help reshape, redirect or replace those catalysts for a bad time.
This class is intended for intermediate/advanced improvisers (18 & older) with some prior improv experience (Hideout Level 2 or above)
2-4:30pm on Saturday, July 26 (pay what you can $29/$39/$55)
