Improv Houdini
Getting Unstuck When You Feel Trapped
Instructor: PJ Nally (New York City)
Have you ever found yourself in a scene or song that wasn’t going as you’d hoped and feeling trapped? Have you struggled to get back on track when things derail? If so, this workshop is for you!
In this workshop, PJ Nally of New York will help you learn tactics for re-discovering the fun at any point in a scene or song, and finding your way back to something playful. Because there are no mistakes in improv, only unsupported choices.
Whether it’s an unsatisfying song, a chaotic and unfocused scene or a chorus that’s way too complicated to remember, you’ll learn how to use everything you and your scene partner have done to escape that trapped feeling and get back to making choices with joy.
