Improv Workshop: Establishing Meaningful Relationships in a Scene

Great improv scenes aren't just about funny ideas. They're about characters who affect one another.

When relationships are clear, scenes have higher emotional stakes, stronger direction, and more interesting choices. Think about it: a disagreement between siblings feels very different from the same disagreement between coworkers. When we understand how the people in a scene relate to each other, we immediately have a reason to care about what's happening.

In this free, hands-on workshop, we'll explore simple, practical techniques for defining relationships early, making choices that feel natural and compelling, and building character connections that lead to more memorable scenes. We'll put these concepts into practice with exercises and games that keep things fun and educational (but mostly fun)!

No improv experience is required. Whether you're brand new to improv or a seasoned performer looking to sharpen your skills, you'll leave with tools you can start using right away.

This workshop is free and open to the public. Attendance is limited to 25 participants, so pre-registration is required.

Come play, learn, and discover how strong relationships can turn a simple scene into a story the audience can't help but care about.
