Decolonize Your Improv: No, seriously. Rewire, Reclaim, Reimagine, and shake up your scenes. This workshop invites improvisers of all levels to dive into the art of improv through a decolonized lens. We’ll question old-school norms, unpack power dynamics, and explore new ways of creating stories that feel true, liberating, and wildly inclusive. Whether you’re looking to deepen your craft or just want to play in a space that values truth and transformation, come as you are. This room is for everyone. No, seriously—everyone.
Sometimes all a scene needs is a song. But also sometimes all a scene needs last is a song. In this workshop, let's all learn different tools and techniques in creating improvised musical long forms, from song structure to using songs at the right time, you'll definitely leave this workshop with a high note!
A lot of narrative improv is genre based and sometimes we can find it daunting to jump into the unfamiliar. But you can have fun in any show if you have some of the basics down and learn to love the fear with the new as opposed to panic with the unknown. Let's explore genres together!
Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston who rose to fame from her Ted talk on The Power of Vulnerability. She’s spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. We'll be playing with her wisdom - gamified through improvisation - and taking the time to talk about what we notice in ourselves as well as our work.

Multi-generational families always play a big role in Asian societies. Generational Bridges is designed to bring in this cultural perspective from the East. This workshop focuses on building fruitful scenes with relationships across generations. It encourages participants to listen fully, be present in the moment, and support their scene partners to find the "fruits" in our differences and similarities. Improv can create bonds and empathy in unexpected ways, strengthening our connections to one another while reminding us of our humanity.

More often than not, if a character is invited to dance as part of a scene, it will be done deliberately 'badly' or 'comedically', but in scenes and songs we commit honestly and just let the comedy find itself. So why not with dance? This fun and physical class will teach some basic dance principles and invite you to honestly commit to trying to dance well - then see what happens! No dance skills or experience required.
