We'll run through some exercises to help the improviser start scenes from a place of purity, focus and proactivity. We'll assault the talky part of the brain, where the self critic lies and get to a place of fearlessness, openness, listening and reacting honestly in the moment. Come get some reps in being completely present with your scene partner(s) and in truthful response, with emotion and point of view.
