About the Workshop

A great improviser can command a room and engage the audience with both subtle and bold choices alike. In this workshop we will focus on improvising with confidence. We will run exercises and games that will promote trusting your own ideas no matter how silly simple or weird, and performing with confidence. I am a fan of honest and encouraging feedback and building a supportive space where we can work towards finding our personal swagger and charm. Together we can chip away at the lies that fear tells us in the moment and discover we are, in fact, compelling. The moment does not require one to be clever or witty, but present and fully engaged - to show up with confidence and commit. We came to see you play. Show up! You are enough!​
