Description

This workshop will focus on commitment and character work, inspired by the Groundlings character-driven style of improvisation. Improvisers will play a series of games designed to cultivate characters on the spot and use those characters in grounded scenework exercises. The workshop will culminate in a set using Hannah’s original format “The Funeral.” You’ll get into your body and out of your head to do some fast-paced and fun character-based improv that is sure to strengthen your improv foundations.
