IMPROVISATION FOR ACTORS
A Workshop in Spontaneity, Creativity & Connection
with Harry Prichett

How many times—in the middle of a film, theater, or commercial audition—have you heard the words: “Just improvise”? This high-energy workshop is designed to sharpen the essential skills every actor needs: spontaneity, creativity, and quick, intuitive thinking. Whether you’re crafting a scene, responding to a director’s last-minute note, or navigating a cold read, improv helps you meet the moment with confidence, clarity, and boldness.
