Joy + Beauty or Bust
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructors: Tara DeFrancisco and Rance Rizzutto

Lots of improvisers lose their sense of play and connection with time. It's ironic - As talent rises and shows and reps increase, we get better at evaluating ourselves during shows rather than remaining in the moment to enjoy the shows we get to do. In this workshop, we will work on ways to connect, play inside scenes to create twinkly opportunity, actively listen, build scenes brick by brick, and not miss moments with one another where pure potential lives. Expect duo exercises, lots of scenes with side coaching, and group challenges to prompt playfulness, introspection, and discovery.

Found In Space
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructor: Mark Sutton

For many of us, using the space in our improv scenes is difficult. Sure, we create things, and we touch things, and we move things around…but are we really using the space to tell the story?  In this workshop, we will practice some of the ways to get the most out of our space and object work. We will visit our relationship with the space in new ways and show how investing in our environments with purpose and focus can lead to discovery, connection, and richer stories.

Honest Improv
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructor: Stacey Hallal

Lots of people in improv reference ‘truth in comedy’ but rarely dig in what exactly that means in practice. In this workshop, you will learn the difference between playing honestly and going for the joke. We will also uncover and explore how to use authenticity as a comedic tool without sacrificing fun or joy in your play. This workshop is suitable for all experience levels.

Sunday, January 15

Building Character
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructor: Stacey Hallal

Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we end up showing up on stage as ourselves. In this workshop, you will learn the tools to unleash the wide variety of characters locked inside of you! We will explore all aspects of character building from inspiration to creation to variation and beyond. Please dress to move in this workshop.

Playing Layers
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructor: Mark Sutton

We practice a lot with 2 person scenes. This workshop will explore how to get them most our of multi-person scenes. We will practice how to be present, connected, and playful in larger scenes without making them a mess. We will also explore ideas on how to “read scenes” to get the most out of our entrances, and edits.

Duo Dynamics
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructors: Stacey Hallal and Mark Sutton

In this workshop, longtime duo Mark Sutton and Stacey Hallal teach you the ins and outs of two-person play. You will practice identifying and playing grounded and absurd characters, take a deep dive into position play, and delve into dynamic contrast to keep scenes and duo shows energized. This workshop is open both to individuals and duos.

Improvised Stage Combat
$100 - $120   [BUY NOW]
Instructor: Dylan Rhode

Learn how to truly exploit your imagination in this workshop focused on creating movement of ourselves and invisible objects as we learn how to punch, slap, kick, slice, shoot, cast lightning, and wherever else our minds can take us. We'll not only focus on the actions, but more importantly the reactions, as well as sound effects and music. If you have little interest in stage combat, it's also great for just working on team support.
