Check Your Ego at the Door

Saturday July 12th 11:00-2:00 @ 150 Fritz Mar Ln

In this advanced improvisation workshop, you'll learn how to "de-egoize"—get outside of your head—and embrace the power of ensemble work. In this session we will let loose with goofy spontenaity. We'll also explore using the space, committing to environment, and finessing object work, eventually diving into scene work with no pressure for a punchline. We'll also touch on essential improv etiquette to ensure a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.
