Master the Game: Framework Over Guesswork

You're in a scene and you don't know where it's going or what to do. This workshop is about fixing that. In two hours you'll learn a simple framework for knowing exactly what your scene is about, endless moves to make, and how to build something you actually want to stay in. We'll explore how this approach generates scenes that are funny by design, not by accident, and we'll spend most of our time on stage with real-time coaching so you get the reps. Participants should have some improv experience, which is equivalent to two levels of classes.

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.
