Off the Cuff Short Form Workshop

DC based, improv group Off The Cuff is headed back to the Arcade on February 18th.  Cuff co-founders Steve Heaton and David Sly will be instructing a limited sized workshop group to perform in front of a live audience, just before OTC's 8pm show.  This workshop is for participants that enjoy a fast-paced learning environment and are excited about the prospect of performing the very same night.  The workshop is open to participants with basic improv background preferred. From 2pm to 5pm workshop attendees will focus on game-based (short-form) improvisational skills that translate to any type of unscripted performance.  The principles covered will include: Understanding scene dynamics, presenting memorable characters, word association skills and application, and reviewing the core competencies of an improv performer.  Short-form games are used in this workshop as a shortcut to highlighting the specific skills being covered, and those games will be used for the performance that evening.
