There is an unspoken contract between performers and the audience. The audience will watch our stories, and we will tell stories that satisfy and delight them.
Too often Improvisers will forget details, relationships, and plots as they rush from joke to joke, from gag to gag. We might make the audience laugh, but it can be at the expense of stories we are trying to tell. This leads to funny scenes, but forgettable shows.
In this workshop we will discuss how we create audience expectations and how we satisfy them. We will learn to identify the main character in an improvised story and sense what kind of story we are telling. In doing so we will learn how to exceed audience’s expectations and raise the bar for the stories an improvised performance can create!
If you come for the workshop you can stay for the jam without feeling like you need to pay twice. 🙂

As with all of my events I am committed to this being an environment that is welcoming to people of all ethnic, racial, national, sexual, and gender identities and I hope for the support of all attendees in creating that space of acceptance.
