Going Live: Improv for the Camera

Step in front of the lens in this three-hour workshop on performing for the camera! No experience with cameras required, just a willingness to play and to look a little silly. You'll do a ton of scenes, on your feet the whole time, learning how to make bold choices in close quarters and how performing for a camera differs from performing for a room. We'll explore what changes when the lens finds you, why failing on purpose is the fastest way to get comfortable, and how the smallest choices land biggest on screen. Expect fast rounds, minimal lectures, no lengthy notes, and no sitting around. Everything is professionally filmed, and you'll get edited footage of yourself a few days later, reel-ready. All experience levels welcome.

Daytime workshops at the Big Couch Binge offer something for improvisers of all levels, from those just starting out to seasoned performers looking to enrich their skills.

And, don't forget about our multi-workshop passes that provide a discount when taking more than one workshop on either day. See our full event page for workshop bundles.
