A workshop with Liz Allen
Liz shares some of her favorite exercises that reflect what she considers to be the most important concepts of long-form. Some of these exercises have been reimagined by her to support her goals, which are to help improvisers (1) calm internal chaos, (2) understand what to sniff for, (3) how to apply inspiration when it hits, (28) break the bonds of convention and expectation, and (5) believe their ensemble can experience fulfilling long-form, every time. Each exercise’s application in long-form will be shown. Some of her faves include: Time and Consequence, In Advance Of, Well-placed Shots of Espresso, Through the Whale’s Mouth, and 3rd Beat Cousins, Clones & Clumps.
