Beyond the Rules (International Workshop)

Beyond the Rules

We’ve all learned the classic improv rules: know each other, like each other, avoid questions, the list goes on. But once we’ve got the basics, it’s time to push against those boundaries. In this class, we’ll explore how bending (or even breaking) the “rules” can open up surprising choices, dynamic scenes, and creative freedom.
