“What’s next?” is probably the “question” that can get in improvisers’ minds most frequently when they are facing the stage lights. If we can’t find the answer right away, then our brains just go blank and our mouths just start talking s**t.
How about another question? “What’s more?” is one of the most inspiring questions you are gonna ask yourself onstage.
This workshop will lead you to discover the Game, which is the most fun thing at the beginning of your scene, from the details. It will help you break your habit of linear thinking and push you to let go of the obsession with “advancing the plot.” It will make you more creative than ever before. It will remind you of the joy of improv again.
