ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Learn how to make your improv less complicated by just going back to the core principles of improvisation. As performers, we tend to forget the simple things that we learned when we first started improvising. John Lutz will take you through a reminder course of the basics of improv: “Yes, and…”, emotional stakes and object work. And by going back to these simple “rules” of improv, it will help you create more playful and dynamic scenes.
