Dear Improviser! 

Ever had an uncomfortable moment on stage where something just didn’t sit right, or you were frozen or stuck on how to respond, or felt unsupported in a scene? This unique workshop is especially designed to help you elevate your craft both on and off the stage, leaving you with concrete applicable skills to playfully explore those tricky-icky moments with courage, curiosity, creativity, and care. Together, we'll practice co-creating how to build an equitable, empowered ensemble for unpacking unconscious bias, navigating difficult conversations with others, and generating safer, more supportive spaces to experience playing improv from our most liberated, authentic selves! We look forward to having you!

Your Facilitators,

Kulkiran Nakai + Michelle Weiss
