5 Workshops / 5 Instructors (Nov. 8)

About this event

5 Backline Alumni have been working for 8 weeks to develop their own improv workshops, and we think everyone will find at least one workshop that is a great match for them, but you can take all 5 for less than 1 regular workshop! Each workshop will be 1 hour long and split between 2 Sundays in November, and each workshop is only $5. Purchase tickets at: https://www.crowdwork.com/e/5-workshops-5-instructors

SUNDAY, NOV 8TH

2PM **REINVENT YOURSELF: PLAYING CHARACTERS AGAINST YOUR TYPE *(Some Improv Experience Required)*** TIM SUECK For most improvisors, the first character they play is a version of themselves. They can find themselves stuck in a rut, playing those same characters in every scene. This workshop will help improvisors of all levels use their voice, physicality, intelligence, and emotional perspectives to break out of their shells and create new and exciting characters.

3:15PM **PLAYING TOGETHER: FOSTERING CONNECTIONS W/ SCENE PARTNERS *(Some Improv Experience Required)*** TORI SMITH Improv is a vulnerable art form, but it is less scary when you trust the people you are playing with. A strong connection with your scene partners can make all the difference in creating a cohesive, entertaining performance. This workshop will give you tools to break the ice when performing with improvisors you may not know, and/or give you exercises to further bond with your current improv team.

4:30PM **FROM THE HEART: LET YOUR FEELINGS GUIDE THE WAY *(No Experience Required)*** CHANDRA PETERSEN Feel It: Connect with genuine emotions rather than searching for a reaction. Own It: Trust the emotion, embrace vulnerability, and stop censoring yourself. Show It: Allow authentic emotion to come through your voice, body language and facial expressions.

As a mental health counselor for over 20 years I've supported people to create their best life while being their authentic self. Come to this workshop ready to let your best strength shine through-Being Genuinely You!!!
