About the Workshop
This workshop will focus on using what you know to help play to the top of your intelligence in all of your scene work. We'll cover making real, grounded choices and using specifics based on the information that you have floating around in your brain to drive your scenes and make you and your fellow improvisers look like geniuses.
Finally, your extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna of Madagascar and obscure prog rock will be useful!
Prerequisite: Students should have basic improv training.
