About this Event
This high-energy improv workshop is all about getting out of your own way and making your scene partner look good. From word games, movement, mirroring, and character work, participants learn how to support offers, share focus, heighten emotions, and know when to step up or step back. The result? Stronger scenes, deeper connections, and the confidence that comes from knowing you’ve got your partner’s back.
