THE ABSURDITY OF IMPROV

THE ABSURDITY OF IMPROV

Improv is absurd. The challenge is to correctly pretend to be someone else while accurately engaging with the environment that isnt there. It can become a very serious business. Dont let it! In this workshop well charge ourselves with impossible tasks and play in scenes full of booby traps. Together we'll destroy our expectations of 'getting it right' and rediscover the fun in The Absurdity of Improv.
