Discover instant ways to already be deeper in the scene or relationship from lights up in this 3-hour Improv Workshop. A lot of 'discovering together' takes the unfortunate form of offer surfing until we find something we like or want to play with. Learn what it means to start in the middle with history and strong emotion-driven choices—with a few verbal tricks built in to help kickstart the habit building. Would this workshop finally bring to an end the dreaded transaction scene?? I sure hope so!! Or at the very least, maybe these transactions can have immediate stakes attached. 

ADEN & ERIC NEPOM (from Portland, in B.A.B.E Presents: I Love Musicals & USS Improvise: A Musical Star Trek Improv Parody) are a real-life couple who have been improvising for over 60 years between the two of them.
