Improv Workshop with Irene Marquette

This workshop will feature exercises designed to release inhibitions and allow characters and relationships to come from a natural, instinctual place.

The emphasis is placed on being in the moment. Have you found yourself 'stuck 'in your head', needing to try something new or just want assurance that what you are bringing to the table is more than enough? Then I look forward to meeting you!

Appropriate for all levels.

Limited to 14 people.
