Varying degrees of you

As an improviser, one asset you always bring to the stage is YOU. In this workshop, we’ll mine this asset and experiment with playing characters we consider both close to and far from ourselves. Through exercises and two-person scenework, we’ll explore how to (1) bring truth to comedy, (2) play with confidence regardless of prior knowledge, and (3) create engaging characters that might resemble a thinly veiled version of ourselves.
