Borrowing some tools and tricks from scripted theater can make our improv more compelling, more exciting, and funnier! In this workshop, we will work to bring a bit of theatrical flare to our improv. We'll exercise and strengthen our ability to create compelling and emotionally-motivated characters; we'll work to commit unflinchingly, and we'll find new ways to use our physical space to aid in our storytelling.
