About this Event
These workshops are for people who love jumping into the unknown with nothing but instinct, a half-formed idea, and maybe a weird voice...
Or for anyone who wants to get better at saying “yes” to whatever weird curveball life throws at them. And then doing the “and” part...
Each session is a standalone deep dive into a different part of improv — characters, scenes, games, brain-melting group stuff, or just saying both “yes” and “and.” Come to one. Come to five. Come to all of them and achieve full chaotic enlightenment.
No experience needed. Just show up, stay present, and maybe bring a water bottle. Because it turns out that you can practice making stuff up.
The Gauntlet: Ready, set, character! Inspired by Andy Eninger's improv game, this class will be a full run-through of The Gauntlet, an exercise where each class participant takes turns to improvise nonstop for 10 minutes, creating as many characters and situations as possible. It's fast, it's exhausting, and utterly bonkers! A great way to get out of your comfort zone (and your head) as a performer, as well as get in as a lot of reps. Class is open to every experience level of improviser and for those who want to try something new but be warned, this exercise will stretch your improv and imagination muscles to the very limits!
About the Instructor: Fiona K.T. Howat is a voice-over artist, improviser, and professional gamemaster (GM) who decided people need to try out and play more roleplaying games (RPGs) to improve their character and scene work. So, she decided to start up a podcast based on it 'What Am I Rolling?'! She also co-hosts 'The DM’s Book Club', a weekly podcast about reading about some Dungeons and Dragons and discussing how it might be included in RPG campaigns! and is currently working on ‘Last Line. Rewind’: TTRPG horror anthology podcast series, with a current release date of Fall 2025.
