Improv Mania

IMPROVMANIA I
SUNDAY, July 23rd 12-6pm
The goal will be on focusing, listening, impulses, character and playing the scene. We will start with a sensory warm-up that will awaken your impulses. Acknowledging these impulses can enhance your work. Then we will lead the group through exercises and scene work so that you can apply these impulses in your work. Find confidence and freedom to explore. $75/$65 if paid by July 19th
In the interest of building a supportive ensemble, we offer a further discount for those who take both July Workshops for $120.
