In this workshop, we will use improvisational theater to discover and explore creative storytelling elements. Expect to have fun and laugh in this embodied experience designed for all kinds of stories - not just humor. Dive deeply into character perspectives through joyful discovery and practice. Develop more rich narrative elements through play. No improv or theater experience is necessary for this workshop.
