Most improvisers reach for characters who are confident, clever, or in control. But some of the most compelling scenes come from characters who struggle — the ones who falter, get overwhelmed, or simply can’t keep up. In this workshop, we explore the freedom that comes from letting your character lose gracefully, vulnerably, and hilariously.

You’ll learn how to play flawed and imperfect characters with honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. Through games, scenework, and side coaching, we’ll discover how embracing failure leads to richer relationships, stronger storytelling, and more surprising comedy.

This workshop isn’t about humiliation — it’s about humanity. When we let our characters stumble, we unlock some of the most memorable and meaningful moments onstage.

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

This workshop teaches you how to stay inside those charged moments. We’ll explore characters who sense that something is off but can’t — or won’t — name it. By holding the silence, playing the subtext, and letting discomfort breathe, scenes become richer, deeper, and far more compelling.

Through guided exercises and scene work, you’ll learn how to sustain tension, allow unspoken emotions to shape the relationship, and trust that what isn’t said can drive a scene just as powerfully as what is. Instead of defusing a moment, we learn to live in it — and discover how much honesty, comedy, and pathos can emerge when we stop trying to fix the scene and simply feel it.

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

Deep Dream exists on the border between sleep and waking — a shifting landscape where images appear and fade, stories transform, and characters flow in and out of one another’s worlds. The format opens the door to a cinematic, dreamlike style of improvisation where scenes follow emotional logic rather than ordinary realism. Moments can be abstract, symbolic, poetic, or startlingly intimate.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create fluid, visually expressive long-form improv using tools such as slow transitions, movement-based storytelling, morphing characters, soundscapes, narration, and silence. Together, we build a surreal montage where genres blend, time stretches and collapses, and the ensemble creates a living dream onstage.

Dreamworld invites improvisers to play with imagery, emotion, and intuition — and to trust that the subconscious has its own kind of storytelling magic.

Some scenes start normal — and then one wild idea catches fire. Suddenly emotions snowball, logic melts, and the world tilts into absurdity. Crazy Town is all about learning how to ride that wave together without losing clarity, connection, or the audience.

In this workshop, we explore the art of escalating a scene from everyday reality into joyful, collaborative chaos. You’ll learn how to follow momentum without steamrolling your partner, how to amplify big choices without losing structure, and how to make the strangest moments feel grounded in the characters’ emotional truth. When everyone supports the escalation, the absurd becomes not only fun, but inevitable.

Crazy Town teaches improvisers how to heighten playfully, build absurd worlds that still make sense, and create scenes where the energy transforms the ordinary into the unforgettable. Come ready to embrace the ridiculous — together.

Farce is fast, bold, and delightfully ridiculous — the kind of comedy where pressure builds, misunderstandings multiply, and characters tie themselves into knots trying to keep the whole chaotic situation from collapsing. It’s one of the most playful and accessible long-form structures in improv, and it rewards quick thinking, commitment, and joyful silliness.

In this workshop, we dive into the mechanics that make farce work: escalating complications, frantic problem-solving, split loyalties, mistaken identities, and the unstoppable momentum that keeps the story racing forward. You’ll learn how to create characters who make big choices under pressure, how to heighten situations without losing track of the narrative, and how to keep the comedy clear even as the chaos swirls.

Farce invites improvisers to embrace speed, clarity, and comedic mess — and to trust that the most hilarious moments come not from clever jokes, but from characters desperately trying to hold everything together. Come ready to get silly, get tangled, and have a blast.

Sometimes improvisers try to save a scene by talking more — adding explanations, stacking ideas, or filling silence with words. But some of the strongest moments in improv come from restraint: saying less, making a clean exit, or letting a simple choice breathe.

Be Quiet and Get Off the Stage is a workshop about the power of clarity, timing, and presence. You’ll learn how to trim the excess from your scenes, how to trust silence, and how to leave at the exact moment your character’s work is done. We’ll explore exits that feel sharp rather than abrupt, lines that land because they’re precise, and scenes that gain impact because we stop trying to force them.

This workshop is an invitation to do less — and discover how much more powerful your work becomes when you’re not competing with your own noise. When you speak with intention and disappear with confidence, the audience leans in. Sometimes the bravest thing on stage is stepping back.
