Gifts with Rick Andrews

Description: This workshop is all about gifts; receiving them and giving them. We'll focus on the simple joys of giving a gift of information, point of view, status, etc to your scene partner. We'll also work on stepping into the gifts you're given with full potential. Each move on stage is a potential gift to be given and received, and by taking advantage of those moments we'll improve our improv by leaps and bounds.
