WORKSHOP: Starting Strong with Michael Busch

Starting Strong Workshop

When it comes to longform improvisation, how you start is important. If you put in the work up top, you won’t find yourself struggling to invent things later on. In this three-hour longform improv intensive, students will focus on:

• Performing detailed, interesting monologue openings based on a suggestion


• Pulling information from monologues


• Constructing solid premise based initiations based on information from monologues


• Getting your idea across to your scene partner so you're both starting on the same page

The workshop is limited to 12 improvisors, so everyone will have time to practice these concepts and receive focused coaching and feedback from this experienced instructor.

Registration is $50
Workshop is Saturday December 7 12PM-3PM

Open to students age 18+.  Students should have at least basic education/experience with longform improv.
