Workshop: Discover the Fun!

A perfect workshop to FIND the fun of a scene rather than trying to FORCE it.

Andy developed this workshop from training at various theatres with Improv styles to focus on playfulness and noticing the little moments. This workshop will get you out of your head, into your body, and find inspiration with character and environment.

Find uncharted fun (and therefore the funny) of a scene with the amazing power of discovery!

This workshop is great for improvisers who overthink in scenes and who want to be present with their scene partners and themselves.

*Workshops are for ages 18 years and up.
