SUBTEXT: IMPROVISING BETWEEN THE LINES / SOLD OUT
Monday, Oct 20, 2025 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
So much of theatre and movies isn't so much about what is being said but what isn't being said. Doing this in improv when we are creating in the moment is quite challenging but bringing subtext to our scenes can elevate our scenes and shows into something magical. It requires deep listening, an understanding of body language, and a vulnerability of performance that can be difficult to capture. This workshop will explore the idea that the words we say can be made secondary to the feelings and stories we share dancing in between those lines of dialogue.

BE YOURSELF: FINDING YOUR VOICE IN IMPROV
Friday, October 24, 2025 10:00 AM 5:00 PM
It's all too easy to dismiss ourselves, to say that we aren't good at what we do, that our ideas just don't measure up. Too boring, too obvious. Not clever, not charming. We just don't have the same "stuff" that we admire in others. Too easy to tell ourselves that we should hide ourselves in a cave.This workshop will get us to face the fact that we all have stories worth telling, that we all have ideas worth sharing. We will learn to take up space, to speak from our perspectives, and to believe in our own contributions.
