A Thought With Another Thought's Hat On with Jim Fishwick

Want your metaphors to be a piece of cake? Want your similes to be as easy as falling off a log?

This workshop explores simple ways to add layers of meaning to improv scenes, through metaphor, simile, and symbols: any time we use one thing to say something else.

It’s not about being clever! This is about adding emotional resonance, depth and beauty to everything from the humdrum to the ridiculous.

Workshop length: 3 hours
Recommended experience level: Intermediate (1 - 3 years experience)
Participants need to know: Come ready to have fun!
