Suitable for all levels.
This workshop is held in the Canons’ Gait.
One of the most common notes heard after a tough improv show is: “It was
just way too complicated”, or “There were too many things happening
onstage”. Instead of holding onto a simple choice, it’s easy to
unnecessarily add more and more stuff to the scenes.
It’s also easy to make the mistake of listening to the voice in your head screaming, “This
isn’t enough! Start talking about something else!”. One minute you’re
obsessing about Indian food, next you’re talking about Spiderman. Ice
cream. Quantum mechanics. You’re lost (and so is your audience).
In this workshop, you’ll work on identifying a simple “thing” for you, then
figure out your character’s “Up” and their “Down”. A simple scene is a
scene you can navigate. Stop getting lost!
