World Creation - MASTERCLASS
with Marcus Sams (Liss n' Sams) Sunday, February 24 11:00am - 2:00pm (For Improvisers of all levels) |
About the Workshop
Using easy to grasp concepts, Sams has created an original technique for creating an improvised environment. Using his “If-then” approach to space objects will allow you to systematically create an interactive world that spawns from a single thought at the top of the scene. This approach allows your mind to slow down and allows brilliant specificity to emerge. |
|
Through exercises, drills, and techniques, Sams will provide you with the tools to create an improvised world that you will be emotionally invested in. By investing in the world you will be more grounded and your nerves will calm allowing you to play more freely. In your improv, it is the difference between being a talking head and truly experiencing the story you are telling.
Special Note: This workshop has sold out at the Alaska State Improv Festival and the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin TX. Student Quote: “The theory was impeccable. It really sunk in and has helped shape my day to day improv.” - Student Student Cap: 16 students |
