Some characters live in your back pocket. Others live deep in your body — you just haven’t met them yet.

This full-day intensive is a deep dive into character creation, embodiment, and emotional clarity. We’ll explore character through physicality, voice, movement, point of view, relationships, and emotional behavior — building characters that feel specific, playable, and alive.

We’ll focus on:
• physical and vocal transformation
• emotional point of view
• status and behavior
• expanding playable range
• breaking habitual casting
• sustaining character in scenes

Through exercises, solo work, and scene play, you’ll build grounded characters, strange characters, subtle characters, and bold ones — learning the difference between performing a character and truly being one.

Sometimes improvisers try to save scenes by talking more — adding explanations, forcing ideas, or filling silence with noise. But some of the strongest moments in improv come from restraint.

Be Quiet and Get Off the Stage is a workshop about clarity, timing, and trusting less. We’ll explore how silence creates tension, how precise choices land harder than constant invention, and how strong exits give scenes shape and momentum.

We’ll focus on:
• saying less with confidence
• trusting silence and reaction
• recognizing when a scene is complete
• making clean entrances and exits
• avoiding unnecessary explanation
• supporting clarity over clutter

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do onstage is stop talking, leave the scene, and let the moment land.

Dreamworld is my interpretation of Deep Dream, the surreal long-form format created by Inbal Lori and Keng-Sam Chane Chick Té. I teach this work with gratitude to its originators and the imaginative tradition it comes from.

Dreamworld exists between sleep and waking — where scenes transform, characters blur together, and stories follow emotional logic rather than realism.

In this workshop, we’ll explore cinematic, dreamlike improvisation through:
• fluid transitions
• movement and imagery
• morphing characters
• soundscapes and silence
• symbolic storytelling
• emotional association

Together, we’ll create surreal long-form improv that feels intuitive, poetic, strange, and deeply human — trusting that the subconscious has its own storytelling logic.

Narrative is not something we force.
It emerges.

In this full-day intensive, we’ll explore how stories naturally appear in improv — and how to recognize, support, and shape them without overplanning or forcing structure.

We’ll examine how meaning forms through repetition, emotional shifts, audience expectation, and cause and effect. Through exercises, structural drills, and longer forms, we’ll practice building stories that feel organic, playable, and emotionally grounded.

We’ll focus on:
• recognizing emerging story
• building cause and effect
• supporting narrative momentum
• creating thematic connections
• distinguishing surprise from betrayal
• finding earned endings

A major focus of the workshop is learning not to overcontrol the middle of a story — trusting scenes themselves to reveal what matters.

Every strong story begins with a foundation. In improv, that foundation is the platform — the everyday details that make relationships believable and worlds feel lived-in.

This workshop focuses on building platforms that support narrative play. Instead of rushing toward conflict or negotiation, we’ll explore how specific environments, grounded behavior, and clear relationships create stories that can actually go somewhere.

We’ll focus on:
• establishing strong relationships
• grounding scenes in everyday reality
• creating playable environments
• building emotional stakes naturally
• resisting forced conflict
• letting story emerge from behavior

Strong platforms create freedom. When the foundation is clear, scenes gain momentum, characters feel real, and stories grow organically rather than mechanically.

Some of the most gripping moments in improv happen when something important is left unsaid. Tension builds, characters feel it, and the audience leans forward waiting to see what unfolds. Too often, improvisers rush to release that tension with a joke, explanation, or sudden confession.

This workshop focuses on staying inside those charged moments. Through exercises and scene work, we’ll explore subtext, silence, avoidance, emotional pressure, and the power of restraint.

We’ll practice:
• sustaining tension
• playing what characters avoid
• letting silence shape scenes
• trusting emotional pressure
• allowing scenes to breathe

Instead of fixing the moment, we learn to live inside it — and discover how much comedy, honesty, and emotion can emerge when we stop rushing to resolve the scene.

Many improvisers reach for characters who are confident, clever, or in control. But some of the most memorable scenes come from characters who struggle — the ones who falter, get overwhelmed, or simply can’t keep up.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the freedom of letting your character lose gracefully, vulnerably, and truthfully. Through exercises, scene work, and side coaching, we’ll discover how failure creates stronger relationships, richer stories, and more surprising comedy.

We’ll focus on:
• embracing vulnerability
• playing low-status characters
• failing without collapsing scenes
• finding humor through honesty
• supporting emotional realism

This workshop isn’t about humiliation. It’s about humanity — and the unexpected power of characters who don’t win.

Some scenes start grounded — and then one wild idea catches fire. Emotions snowball, logic bends, and suddenly everyone’s halfway to Crazy Town.

This workshop is about escalating collaboratively without losing clarity, connection, or emotional truth. We’ll explore how to heighten scenes from ordinary reality into joyful absurdity while keeping the audience with us every step of the way.

We’ll focus on:
• collaborative escalation
• supporting big choices
• heightening without steamrolling
• grounding absurdity emotionally
• building coherent chaos
• following momentum together

When everyone commits to the same rising energy, the ridiculous stops feeling random and starts feeling inevitable. Come ready to embrace the strange, the explosive, and the delightfully unhinged.

Farce is fast, chaotic, and gloriously difficult to control. Pressure builds, misunderstandings multiply, and characters scramble to keep everything from falling apart.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the mechanics that make farce work: escalating complications, split loyalties, mounting panic, mistaken assumptions, and the relentless momentum that drives the story forward.

We’ll focus on:
• clear comic stakes
• escalation and pressure
• fast status shifts
• commitment under chaos
• tracking narrative threads
• playing urgency truthfully

Farce works best when characters care deeply about solving impossible problems. The comedy comes not from jokes, but from desperate people trying to maintain control as the world spins out around them.

Come ready to move fast, get tangled up, and fully commit to the mess.
