Sunday, 20 April | 14:00 - 17:00 @ The Improv Hub

How many times have you heard about the concept of “Yes, And”? Have you ever been told never to ask questions in scenes? What about doing instructional scenes? Are your practices and scenes fraught with the pressure to be (or not to be) funny?

Granted, there are no “rules” in improv, but most of us do learn these inalienable tenets as we begin our journey into improv. In this active and interactive workshop, we will deconstruct and unravel these foundational guidelines to build something that truly works for us.
