Special Class with Kevin Gillese: TAO of IMPROV
Sunday, December 10
5 PM – 7:30 PM
$45

In this workshop we will explore how contrast, tension, and opposites can be used to create compelling stories, characters, and moments in improvised theatre. This is a deep dive into Kevin’s personal improv philosophy that he has crafted over the years inspired by Taoist philosophy. This perspective can easily slot in alongside any other approach to improvisation and is appropriate for everyone from new improvisers to seasoned veterans. Come join us as we use drama to create stronger comedy, stillness to create more impactful movement, and silence to make each word more powerful. And while we study the craft like the serious artists that we are, we’ll also remember to play and have fun, because otherwise what’s the point?
