Improvisation and Storytelling
Walk the boundaries of where improvisation and storytelling meet. We will
explore the structure of stories, make stories as a group, play with
content, physicality, music and silence. We will explore use of the space
to tell a story, using techniques such as viewpoints and freeform. We will
explore both performance improvisation as well as improv for composition.
Expect discovery and fun!
Suitable for those with some improv performance experience.
