Masterclass How to Be a Ninja

Class Theory:
What does being a ninja have to do with improv? The Ninja, Pirate, Robot theory was created by UCB performer Billy Merritt. This theory proposes that improvisers can be categorized into 3 groups and describes the behaviors and tendencies of those 3 types of improvisers: creative initiators, grounded reactors, and people who do both, aka "ninjas". In this workshop for advanced improvisers, we'll gain understanding around the value of being an improv "ninja", and workshop skills to help you become that well-rounded utility player.

Prerequisites:
Intermediate to advanced improv experience required
