Not necessarily; in fact, not often. 'Take the boring choice' is a powerful mantra. ​Improv is the foundation of any performer's training - the ability to be alive in the moment, to fully listen and engage with your scene partner/s, and to start understanding story (and a character's journey) from the inside out. Take away words, take away haste, and what are you left with? This session is an introduction to the discipline of improv, designed to demystify and simplify in a relaxed and fun environment.
