About this Event
What is Improv:Improv is a theatrical artform where participants create scenes, dialogue and characters on the spot and without a script. It’s spontaneous and often comedic: like the hit tv show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”In this workshop we’ll focus on playing short-form improv games that are fun, interactive and accessible to everyone; from first-timers to experienced performers. Whether you wanna sharpen your improv skills, learn new ones or you just want to come out and play, this workshop is where you wanna be.
