The Basics – Liz Hutchman Workshop

This workshop is rooted in the fundamentals of improvisation and open to all experience levels.  Whether you are new to improv or an experienced player who wants to double back to the basics, this workshop will inspire confidence and deepen your understanding of the power in making simple choices and the connectivity that comes through agreement and trust.  We will focus on active listening, being present, the joy in the yes, and how to build scenes together in an easy step by step approach.  No prior improv training required.
