An improv workshop exploring how you can perform by yourself on stage with confidence and comfort.

Intro to Solo Improv

I know what you're thinking.
Why would I WANT to improvise on my own on stage.
It's hard enough improvising.

And that's true, but there's also a lot of fun to be had playing with me, myself, and I.

In this two hour workshop players will learn how to be comfortable and how to control their time on stage through a mix of improv, clowning, and physical theatre exercises.
The techniques used are perfect for anyone looking to get into live performance, looking for inspiration for a solo project, or just looking to let loose and have some fun!

Players will explore the fear of performing alone, how they can play with suprise, and how they can make it fun for themselves and an audience.
