That Escalated Quickly!
with Georgi Chulkov

Heightening and escalation are essential tools in improv. They allow the improviser to raise the energy of a moment, to create and follow the game of the scene, and to focus on what is important in a scene. Escalation is always fun, and while its importance is universal, it is particularly essential in dynamic, high-energy performances.

In this workshop we'll look at escalation in depth, both in terms of what we can escalate, and how. We'll take the concept apart and go back to first principles - accepting an offer, choosing a trait to escalate, and confirming it - and practice the many obvious and non-obvious way of having "more of the same", including escalating in reverse and doing less. We'll escalate physicality, energy, emotion, timing, status, and more.

Level

Suitable for improvisers of all levels. Perfect for those who want to be (more) brave on stage!
