Online Workshop: The Zoomus

Saturday September 26 3:00pm-5:00pm

We’ve all had to learn together how to navigate improvising over the internet. In this workshop, Fred Frances will explore one approach to these new challenges: embracing virtual communication as the reality of improvised scenes. Fred and Matty Frances have developed “The Zoomus” a longform specifically designed to be performed over Zoom, for their hit livestreamed show Dial-Up: Improvised Zoom Calls with the Frances Brothers. In this workshop, Fred will teach you the basics of the Zoomus, with tips on how to make the most of the medium in livestreamed improv. You’ll come out of this workshop being able to practice your own Zoomus, and you can use the theory and best practices you learn to develop your own online-only improv forms!

Workshop is 3-5pm 

Instructor: Fred Frances

Registration: $25
