Create believable objects, endow your environment, and give scenes something concrete to play.About this EventGain confidence in building a whole world out of thin air in this two-hour workshop on endowments and object work! Because your environment is another character in your scene, you'll practice creating consistent, believable objects with your hands and body and learn how endowing your environment, your relationships, and your objects can instantly deepen what's happening. We'll explore how specificity turns a vague gesture into a real, trackable object, and how strong object work gives your scene partner something concrete to play off of. With this workshop, your physical choices will land as clearly as your verbal ones. All experience levels welcome.Daytime workshops at the Big Couch Binge offer something for improvisers of all levels, from those just starting out to seasoned performers looking to enrich their skills.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.About the Instructor - Scott AndersonScott Anderson, or “Scoot” as he is called by his friends, is originally from Jackson, MS but has lived in New Orleans since 2013. He grew up falling asleep to the sounds of his parents’ bluegrass band rehearsing into the night. Even though he fought it for 18 years, he eventually realized that he had to learn to play guitar or be ostracized by his family. He went on to receive a degree in classical guitar while also studying jazz, funk, rock, and bluegrass. Music is his heart, comedy is his mind, but his MBA from the University of New Orleans pays the bills. When he is not working as a software engineer, Scott teaches, coaches, and performs improv comedy. He is the co-founder and co-owner of Big Couch, where writes improv course curriculum and oversees the venue's technical operations as well as performing in the Big Big Show, Nerd Night, and Special Features. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/making-it-real-the-art-of-endowments-and-object-work/100001996425654876 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Entertainment, Music, comedy, performances, Art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Big Couch - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 37.24, max: 37.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: Big Couch - **lat**: 29.9665058 - **long**: -90.04041769999999 - **full address**: Big Couch, 1045 Desire Street, New Orleans, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Making It Real: The Art of Endowments & Object Work - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/849dea7ae7eadfd47412985a298a9662555246e896da1cc35072f592a7e0e46c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080818-gmir.jpg?v=1785736266 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Making It Real: The Art of Endowments & Object Work being held? - **A:** Making It Real: The Art of Endowments & Object Work takes place on Sun, 06 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sun, 06 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Big Couch, 1045 Desire Street, New Orleans, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Making It Real: The Art of Endowments & Object Work? - **A:** Making It Real: The Art of Endowments & Object Work is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
