Move it!

Scenes that come from an authentic emotional place are fun to watch and thrilling to perform. One of the quickest ways to stop overthinking your scene is to move your body. If you love to tap into your physicality, you will love this workshop. If you DON'T love moving or don't feel comfortable being physical on stage, this workshop is especially for you! 

In this workshop, you will learn new tools and techniques to tap into your emotional authenticity and practice using them in a safe, supportive environment. This workshop will be accessible to all levels of physical abilities and limitations. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. 

Prerequisites: Completion of Zen of Improv 3 or the equivalent at another comedy school

About Your Teachers:  
Paul McNeil is lovingly reunited and rerooted here in the valley in Easthampton after 14 years away performing improv comedy with the Royal Berkshire Improv Troupe, standup comedy at Seattle’s “Comedy Underground”, and acting in Tim Mele’s "Who Framed Jesus Christ?",  Mamet's "The Water Engine", Moliere's "The Misanthrope", Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", and Yasmin Rana’s “Blood Sky”. He partners Alysa, fathers Henry, and walks Ruby. 

Maile Shoul first started performing improv with the Smith College SIKOS, back in the late 90s. She is a founding member of Happier Valley Comedy's house team, The Ha-Ha's, and performed at ImprovBoston for eight years in their Family Show and Harold Night teams. She currently performs at Happier Valley with The Ha-Ha's doing long-form improv and with The Understudies doing musical improv.
