Workshop contents:

FRIDAY 24 SEPT

19:30 - 22:30  AERODYNAMICS OF YES (all levels)
Get familiar with the Aerodynamics of Yes techniques of improv. This is a course designed to help performers build upon prior improv training. It sets out to create a bedrock foundation for you as a self reliant, team-playing, fun-chasing improviser. This is for improvisers that want a refreshing new slant on the way they play. Learn to advance and expand your ideas and weave them into rewarding scenes and narratives, with pronounced games.
 
SATURDAY 25th SEPT

11:00 - 14:00 AERODYNAMICS OF YES (all levels) - same as Friday session

15:00 - 18:00 INSTANT GAME (anyone who completed beginners level)
Building strong characters starts the moment your foot hits the floor, not the moment you start “thinking.” This workshop will focus on the organic unfolding of a character based on that first step. More being…less thinking! Hone your ability to identify the game of a scene and blow it out to the Nth degree. All exercises are set to identify premise, celebrate a central game, and attack it as an ensemble. Give your gameplay the torque it needs and take this workshop!
 
19:30 - 22:30 COACHING CLASS / TEACHING THE TEACHER (for instructors)
Learn to be a better listener and a better teacher in this crash course that will help you seize a room, keep the tempo up, design curriculum that builds on its own momentum and has resonant cohesion through metaphor. * Note:This is traditionally a 3 week course and will be truncated for the time we have which may err more on the side of dialogue and discussion but will still involve a good deal of play and reps.
 
SUNDAY 26th SEPT
 14:00 - 17:00 MONOSCENE (anyone who completed beginners level)
Bring modulation, stakes and character clarity to your Monoscene. Use stage-craft and specificity to give torque and traction to your scene, explore the location and use it to fuel your discoveries and declarations. Play with fearless physicality and hairpin emotional shifts.
 
Show:    20:00 - 22:00
The show will be comprised of scenes, exercises and formats from the workshops. And Christian will be part of the performance! If you participate in the workshops, you can join the show as a player!
