Absurdity: How to get away with it – Rolland Lopez Workshop

Saturday, May 16, 2020
3:00 - 5:00 pm MST

You try to be funny or absurd or create a world different than the real world and it just doesn’t quite land with the audience…why not?! This workshop will provide techniques and philosophies that will help you be as absurd as you want within the framework your show creates!

Workshop times are MST (Arizona).


Rolland has been teaching and coaching improv for almost 5 years. He loves teaching, whether it’s working with seasoned players or introducing Improv as a brand new concept to beginners.

His core tenets when teaching is to fully encourage while helping to guide and push students one small step outside of their comfort zone. Students have to reach but it’s within their grasp and that way, learning, and incorporation of concepts can be easily done.

The exercises in his workshops are created with the real world (or stage) in mind. Players walk away being able to immediately use the concepts introduced the next time they’re on stage.

He is currently a faculty member at the Westside Comedy Theatre and is based in Los Angeles. He’s available to coach throughout the city as well as online and can also come to your town!
