This workshop explores the makings of the unique style of Big Bang free-form improvisation. This mindset is built on the concept of "follow the funny" and proposes that every single moment, beat, line and movement in a show can be deconstructed and used to lead you to the next scene. During this exploration and deconstruction of content, a language and pattern are established that help define form where previously there was no form.

The Soap Opera is a staple across Asian culture. From achim drama in Korea, to dinner time tv in Taiwan and Singapore, we indulge in over the top plot points, overcomplicated relationships and unwelcome in-laws with our family over tv dinners. Come join Tim as he works through solid technique exercises grounded in Mandarin theatremaking that bring out the storytelling to write your own soap opera.

building strong relationship-driven narratives
tension building
monologue delivery

So much of theatre and movies isn't so much about what is being said but what isn't being said. Doing this in improv when we are creating in the moment is quite challenging but bringing subtext to our scenes can elevate our scenes and shows into something magical. It requires deep listening, an understanding of body language, and a vulnerability of performance that can be difficult to capture.This workshop will explore the idea that the words we say can be made secondary to the feelings and stories we share dancing in between those lines of dialogue.
Improv is rarely a solo endeavor. This workshop will focus on how you can become the best possible partner your teammates could imagine. Games and exercises showing how to listen to what your partner really wants, and turn them into a rockstar. If we’re all doing this for each other, we’re a team of rockstars and we all win!
