Introduction to Dramatic Improv Workshop
About this Event
Step beyond the laughs and explore the power of unscripted storytelling with this two-hour introduction to dramatic improv. This workshop focuses on building emotional truth, strong characters, and compelling narratives—all created spontaneously on stage. You’ll learn how to listen deeply, make bold emotional choices, and develop scenes that resonate with meaning and authenticity. Through guided exercises and scene work, we’ll practice finding stakes, exploring conflict, and embracing vulnerability while maintaining the flow and responsiveness unique to improv. Perfect for improvisers looking to expand their range, deepen their performance skills, or simply tell more impactful stories on the fly. Get ready to discover the heart beneath the humor.
Daytime workshops at the Big Couch Binge offer something for improvisers of all levels—from those just starting out to seasoned performers looking to deepen their skills. This particular workshop does require basic improv knowledge.
And, don't forget about our multi-workshop passes that provide a discount when taking more than one workshop on either day. See our full event page for workshop bundles.
