In this workshop, students will learn the basics of re-improvisation and sketch structure. Using improv fundamentals, students will explore premise, game, heightening and character development to find the funny. Students will leave with tools to improvise their way to a script and with a better understanding of what makes a sketch "work." This workshop is recommended for intermediate and/or advanced improvisers. No sketch background necessary!
