This workshop will focus on demystifying and clarifying what we mean when we talk about “playing the game.” We’ll work on finding what you think is funny and building a scene around it and performing scenes that play game in real, honest and fun ways. We’ll cover creating fun and clear games organically and from openings, heightening in surprising ways, and supporting from the back line to help your fellow performers explore their ideas as well. If you feel terrified every time your coach asks “so, what was the game there,” we can work on that!

By registering for this workshop, you agree to the Das Improv Festival Code of Conduct and The CCB Training School Misconduct Policies.

Please note there are no refunds on workshop registration!
