Ever been on stage and felt like your show was tanking? Of course you have!Everyone has bad days, whether you’re ten minutes or ten years into your improvjourney. In fact, bombing on stage is a rite of passage for every improviser. Andlisten, I don’t want to take that away from you, because fundamentally it will makeyou a better performer. But it’s never too late to turn things around. In this workshop we’ll explore how you can bring your shows back from the brink through teamwork,trust and commitment. No cheap tricks or short-cuts; just confident, connectedimprov that will make you fall in love with your show again and bring your audiencealong for the ride.
