About this Event

Discover the bold, vulnerable, and magnetic performer within you—go beyond laughter to create a connection your audience will never forget.

This is not just a workshop—it’s a challenge, an adventure, and maybe even a revelation.

Prepare to pour your heart, your guts, and, yes, all your fluids into this intensive. We’re going to see just how funny, ferocious, and magnetic you can be when you give it everything you’ve got.

Together, we’ll explore the powerful, vulnerable connection between you and your audience. You’ll tap into your unique brand of boldness, uncover the art hiding within your humor, and discover how to not just make people laugh—but make them love you.

What to Expect:

  • A deeper connection with your audience—and an understanding of how to keep them hooked.
  • Personalized feedback designed to unleash your creative power.
  • Discovery of your “sweet spots”—the emotions, movements, and physicality that make you unforgettable.
  • A clear understanding of your own stage magnetism and how to harness it for maximum impact.
  • The birth of new characters, sketches, and ideas that will take your performance to the next level.
  • More wildness. More bravery. More vulnerability.
  • Laughing until your sides hurt (and maybe crying, too).
  • And yes, interpretive dance.
    This workshop is perfect for improvisers, clowns, stand-up comedians, actors, movers, and anyone who wants to be more magnetic, funny, and fearless in front of others.

If you’re ready to stop holding back and start captivating your audience like never before, this intensive is for you. Let’s take your humor, your heart, and your courage to the next level. Are you in?
