In this workshop, we will explore the fundamentals of improvisation as a performance art form through a range of exercises and games. We will also explore how the skills and knowledge gained from doing improv can be applied to our everyday lives. Whether that’s in your creative process as an artist, applying for a job, or a desire for a little more pizazz in your small talk! The goals of this workshop are to get you out of your comfort zone in a fun and safe environment, exercise out-of-the-box thinking, and encourage trust, acceptance, and presence within improv, ourselves, and as an ensemble. No prior experience is needed. Just come with an open mind and be ready to have fun!
