About the Workshop
Let’s make our scenes pop! This workshop, taught by Amanda Breen (UCB’s Director of Improv & Training Center Director) is all about making your scenes more fun, surprising and deeply connected. We’ll tap into the love language of gift giving as we unleash a whole toolbox of gifts you can offer your scene partners: juicy character backstory, unexpected twists, delightful specifics and more. You’ll learn how to spot gifts, accept them fully and use them to build scenes that feel effortless and pure fun!
Prerequisite: you should have basic improv training
