Fartlek Improv is a playful deep-dive into pacing, emotional depth, and scene building. Inspired by interval training, we’ll kick off with quick, one-minute scenes—fast, instinctive sprints—then expand them into ten-minute versions using the same starting and ending moments. Over six hours, we’ll build narrative muscles, explore character arcs, and find richness in simplicity. We’ll finish where we started—with that one-minute scene, now full of depth, rhythm, and connection. It’s improv training for storytellers who like to move.

This workshop looks at the three forms of touch - bone to bone touch, muscle to muscle touch and skin to skin touch as a parallel for moments in narrative that are pure conflict, cooperation and forwarding and intimacy and softening, respectively. These build tools for evaluating what a particular scene needs at the moment. This is a narrative Building toolkit workshop that uses physical theatre, embodied practice and scene work.

Note from Organizer: This workshop involves physical contact of limbs, core and around the back. For a comprehensive learning, a decent amount of push and pull work using bodies, composition work using bodies and some amount of contact to experience the difference between bone to bone pressure, muscle to muscle pressure and skin to skin pressure is significant. You will not be asked for contact beyond your own boundaries.
