About the Workshop

The Pretty Flower is a form that takes a core, group scene and spins it out into scenes that explore the characters in that core before bringing them all back together to explore their relationships again. It's fun!

The form is a great way to match slow patient play AND quick, sharp edits into one cohesive whole. We'll work on the basics of the form in terms of structure and scene work so you'll have the tools you need to make it your own!

Prerequisite: Students should have basic improv training.
