Workshop: Break the Rules

Workshop: Break the Rules

American UndergroundDurham, NC
Saturday, Apr 11 from 1 pm to 3 pm
Overview

We've been told don't fight, don't teach, don't do a transaction in an improv scene - but how can we make these scenes feel successful?

Workshop Description: We're often told to avoid doing certain kinds of scenes - Don't fight, don't do a teaching scene, don't do a transaction scene - the list goes on. Well, in this workshop we're going to do all of those scenes and then some! Come explore how you can do any type of scene and make it successful.

Workshop Length: 2 hours

What Should I Bring? Wear comfy clothes and closed-toe shoes fit for movement. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil. Bring a full water bottle.

Please read our Lab FAQ & Policies and Covid Policies before signing up for a class or workshop.

About the Instructor: Michael Lutton has been an instructor at the Magnet Theater in NYC since 2011. He is the current Artistic Director and is the Director of the Musical Improv Program. He has travelled the country performing in festivals and has taught workshops in Boston and Washington, DC. He has also taught several corporate and team-building workshops. He began improvising in 2006, and was lucky to train with teachers such as Armando Diaz, Rachel Hamilton, James Eason, and Tara Copeland.
