About the Workshop
It’s easy and fun to play scenes set in the world of a popular movie or TV show because we know the conventions of the genres. We know how to talk like Darth Vader, we know what weapons an elf uses, we know a Pixar movie is going to teach you a life lesson that makes you cry very, very hard. Well good news! Life has genres, too! In this workshop, we’ll apply the tools of genre-based improv (like The Movie form) to help you find agreement, use specifics, and see the possibilities in any scene, even ones that take place in the real world.
Prerequisite: students should have basic improv training.
