Workshop: "Improv on Your Own Terms"

Great improv requires great trust and safety. We need to feel comfortable with our scene partners to create outstanding performances.
In this unique workshop, we explore how the Principles of Consent--enthusiastic agreement, strong communication, and mutual respect--can make your improv scenes more dynamic, connected and safe to take risks. Discover how clear boundaries and mutual understanding can unleash higher levels of creativity and entertainment.

For beginner through advanced performers.
