Description
THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT. There are audit slots available which allow you to sit in on the workshop and possibly participate in certain group exercises at the instructor's discretion. It will not allow for full participation.

We've all been there. You've started a scene and can't think of what to do next. A swirl of improv rules clog your brain. You worry about doing something "wrong" that hurts your partner. What to do? These good habits: emotion, specifics and philosophy can get you out of a jam almost every time. You want it in your bones to EMOTE, SPECIFY and PHILOSOPHIZE without really having to think about it. We will drill these useful habits and look at how they get us in the flow!

WILL HINES is a founder of the World's Greatest Improv School. He has been teaching long-form improv since 2004 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, at both its New York and Los Angeles branches. He's published a best-selling book on improv called How to Be The Greatest Improviser on Earth. He's also a working comedic actor and has appeared on many terrific television programs (Brooklyn 99) and on some big podcasts (Comedy Bang-Bang) as well as the 99 podcasts he's produced himself (including Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk about the Beatles). And finally, if you want even MORE improv talk, you can read his popular online essays about improv at his substack, Improv Nonsense.
