When we are feeling inspired improv feels very easy, but sometimes we find ourselves onstage with no idea what to do next. That is when we need strategies.

In this workshop we will try out a range of strategies to jump start inspiration and get you back into the scene.

The majority of the workshop will be doing exercises in groups, then moving into performing in front of the class in the last part of the workshop.

Is this workshop right for me?

This workshop is for performers who are usually confident performing in open scenes, but sometimes get a bit stuck.
