THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IMPROVISERS

with Chris Mead

What are the seven habits of highly effective improvisers? We'll look at each in turn and use exercises and improv games to really explore them in depth. Fifteen years of improv experience distilled into seven bullet points.

• LISTEN: Be a better listener. It’s a fundamental skill in improv. Everything else you do proceeds from a state of receptivity.

• ACCEPT & BUILD: Enter as a blank slate. Be inspired by what your partner gives you and offer something of yourself in response.

• BE GENEROUS: Let your default position be one of play - positive, accepting and joyful.

• FEEL SOMETHING & BE CHANGED: Don’t treat the scene as an intellectual exercise. How do your characters feel about each other? Be willing to be changed by those feelings.

• PLAY INTENTIONALLY: Make offers with brevity and clarity. Pace yourself. Use specifics.

• BUILD FROM YOU: Take inspiration from your own life. Share something of yourself. How is this scene different because you are in it?

• LIVE IN THE NOW: What is happening now? Not in the future. Not in the past. Not to other people. But. Right. Now. Discover, don’t invent.

LOVE ME, CATCH ME - K-LOVE VARIETY SHOW LONG FORM

with Hellena Jang

Inspired by hit Korean love reality shows like Single’s Inferno, I Am Solo, and Love Catcher, this unique long-form format created by Imfrog brings high-stakes dating dynamics onto the improv stage.

Reality TV is fueled by rich, idiosyncratic characters, unscripted drama, and unpredictable connections. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build distinct character archetypes and navigate complex relationship dynamics where no one knows who will end up together, or if anyone will at all. Who doesn't love a good love story?

 19:00 - 21:00 SUN 10 JAN
