In this workshop, attendees will learn flash and sense memory exercises to expand their scene starts, and create fully formed characters based on your personal knowledge and skill-set. A performer’s culture and language forms part of their improv toolkit, and this workshop will help performers draw from it.

The second level in our Narrative series will pick a specific style of storytelling (Noir, buddy cop, soap opera, after-school special, etc.) and spend six weeks giving you the tools and techniques to knock it out of the park.
Some people come to improv without any acting training and as a result can be limited in how and what they are able to improvise. This class is about teaching the improviser acting skills, broadening their emotional range, creating engaging characters and visceral work on stage. Students will get a chance to work on what it means to be present for their partners and themselves.
