WORKSHOP - Improv Illusions

Level up your physical improv skills! In this short, beginner level workshop, you’ll learn some easy-to-practice techniques for object work, environment, and physicality. Topics we’ll explore include performing realistic activities, making discoveries from the environment, playing safely, and how to turn the stage into your playground. You don’t have to be a mime or acrobat, and you don’t have to change how you improvise. Physical improv is a multiplier that makes your improv more interesting, immersive, and FUN!  

Following the workshop, limited copies of The Improv Illusionist book will be available for purchase for €20 (cash only please). Reading the book is NOT required for this class.
