WORKSHOP: Tim Orr - Blowing up the stage

In improv, we can actually make an audience see things and places that aren’t there on stage, if only we have the skills and commitment to make it happen. Instead of standing onstage and talking, we have the opportunity and the challenge of portraying the full range of human experience. It is the truly magical part of improvisation!

This class is an introduction to the “Advanced Where´s/Action” course which I’ve developed through 23 years of performing and teaching. These techniques, used together, give you the skills you need to create dynamic environments in any improv format.
