Improvised Laughter
This workshop will focus on relaxing and having fun with improv comedy based games, some of which you might have seen on the television series Who's Line Is It Anyway?
Not only are these games and exercises great for inducing laughs, we all need to smile more, but they are also great tools people can use everyday to de-stress, they are perfect as ice breakers for parties or other social situations, and can also be applied to community and job related team building, trust, and training. In addition these games will help any budding actor or actress.
Come one, come all, no improv, acting or theater experience required.
In today's time crunching society, take just a moment to do something improvised everyday.
