This improv workshop titled 'Don’t panic' is a fun and empowering workshop on commitment to character, environment and the moment, to make you more confident when hitting the stage. By committing to the moment and getting specific with choices, improvisors see how audiences will follow them into more truthful and universally human scenes and stories. Don’t panic! Improv is supposed to be FUN!
