play with specificity
|
Specificity is the spice of scene work! Specific choices bring your characters to life and give your scene partner more toys to play with. In this workshop, we’ll practice tapping into your own lived experiences to bring depth, authenticity, and fun to your improv toolbox. We all have some esoteric knowledge, niche hobby, or odd job in our past - let’s use it in our improv!
Prerequisite: Completion of Improv 4
