INFINITE TAG EXPLORATION WITH BILLY SOCO
Let's go on a forever journey to answer all of the questions... through tag-outs! Realities are rarely the way they are for no reason and characters experience multi-faceted lives. To that end, we're going on the ultimate tag-run to find the truth. In this workshop, we'll be exploring how various tag edits can justify behaviors, add depth to character lives, and help us answer the question, "what the what is happening here?!" This workshop is ideal for those who want more reps using tags toward discovering more and just having fun!
*Recommended for improvisers who have completed at least 3 levels of long-form improv.*

CHARACTER WORK WITH A SIDE OF SPECIFICS with jaime moyer
In this workshop we will work on ways to create and sustain characters in the moment. Through details and heightening this course will help you play anyone but yourself. We will also get down to the business of specificity! Scenes and characters always improve when you add certain details to the mix. This workshop will entail a lot of feedback and notes on your scenes, which will bring each attendant to a heightened awareness of what works well and why. And together we will create new characters you've never ever seen and/or played before!
