Every scene needs an initiation. And yes, for those of us whose brains are capable of doing the quick mental gymnastics necessary to construct a perfect premise initiation on the fly, premise initations are great. This workshop is for the rest of us. In this workshop, we’re going to drill down to the bare bones of what initiations need, how to properly let your scene partner know “really, this is all I’ve got,” and how to respond to simple initiations without wasting the first half of your scenes on politely not making big choices. Expect a lot of two person scene drills, some gentle but loving ribbing, and the occasional moment of Berg swearing at himself.

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!

Instructor:

Alex Berg

Alex “Berg” Berg is an improviser and science nerd. On stage, he’s best known for his time with improv stalwarts Convoy, Sentimental Lady, and Sassy Bluff. Behind his back people say he’s historically handsome, fabulously wealthy, and a joy to be around. In front of his back people say things like “Please go away” or sometimes “Go away right now.” You may have seen him on TV in Terriers, Key and Peele, Reno! 911, The Goldbergs, or 2 Broke Girls. He also has a hilariously small role in Meet Dave and played a naked old lady in Hell Baby. Now he’s coming to Berlin, do with that what you will.
