All the Feels: Level Up Your Improv With Emotion
with Deena Nyer Mendlowitz

Saturday, November 7th 11am-1pm

Emotion is the easiest and best hack and you're leaving it out of your improv. Whether short form or long form, improvising is incomplete without feelings. In this workshop, we'll use a variety of exercises, scenes, and games to find easy ways to connect with emotion and bring it in to every single part of your improv.

Listen Here! A workshop dedicated to the art of listening
with Ryan Santa

Saturday, November 7th 11am-1pm

As improvisers we are too often concerned with our output that we gloss over the in the input of our scene partners. In this two hour workshop we'll slow down and gain tactics that help us truly absorb all gifts our scene partner gives us.

Monologues & Initiations: Perform your own ASSSSCAT!
with Michael Busch

Saturday, November 7th 1:30pm-3:30pm

In this workshop, we’ll focus on performing detailed, interesting monologue openings based on a suggestion, pulling information from monologues, constructing solid premise based initiations based on information from monologues, and getting your idea across to your scene partner.

Zoom Out, What Else Is True?
with Tom White

Sunday, November 8th 11am-1pm

Stop staring at the weird thing. Zoom out and discover the world that would have to exist for it to be true.

Great scenes often contain an unusual idea almost immediately, but improvisers can get stuck squeezing that one idea for more jokes. This workshop is about zooming out. If this unusual thing is true, what else must be true about these characters, their relationships, their jobs, their families, their institutions, or the wider world? Through scene work and exercises in implication, pattern, and world-building, we’ll learn to turn one funny discovery into a much bigger comic reality.

NOTE: If there’s enough interest, we will add more workshops Saturday 1:30pm and Sunday 11am.
