You’ll generate physical, bold ideas through games, movement prompts, and sketch brainstorming sessions that turn “what if” into “oh no, we’re actually doing this.”
Participants will:
- Collaboratively develop sketch premises and characters
- Choreograph and refine comedic dance moments as a group
- Learn tools and frameworks to create original work beyond the workshop
- Leave with a notebook full of ideas, a toolkit of creation strategies, and a stronger sense of how to make your audience laugh with your whole body.
Come curious, ready to play, and dressed to move.
