# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Workshop: Truth and Agreement: Improv for Writers with Dana Puddicombe
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 01:30 am – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-02:30)
- **Event Description**: Comfort with improvisation is an asset to any writer, whether you ever step foot on stage or focus squarely on the page. Tools developed through improv exploration can help writers create characters and flesh out scenes, but the basic values of improv can also set writers free in moments when they are feeling less than inspired. In this workshop, we will explore values that will inspire timed writing and focus on honouring truth in what we’ve already built to silence our editing critic and allow us to let our mistakes make our magic. Improv for Writers is an opportunity for writers to practice and learn the basics of improvisational theatre. Although this art form usually leans to humour, the goal is to practice playing honest and inspired scenes together, learning some principles of improv that are transferable to all areas of life, but for our purposes, infinitely valuable to your work. This class will get you out of your head, to connect with your partners, embrace a world with no “mistakes,” and enjoy some laughs and fun in a low-stakes environment.

This event is free and open to the public!
