Join us for the improv workshop “Lightening Rods: Grounding in Absurdity.” Enhance the way you play!
The average improvisor hears “grounded” and probably thinks about realistic, slice-of-life, relationship-based scenes. Or slower, patient scenes. And those are amazing! But lighting rods don’t serve much purpose in calm, fair weather. They are designed for pulling and controlling wild, random and chaotic bolts of energy during hectic storms. So, when we want to ground our scenes and shows, we should be focusing that wild energy, not suppressing it. This workshop will show you how to get weird and stay grounded.
Saturday, October 19th • 12pm to 3pm • Registration required!
