 nstructors and Content: \nHolly Mandel is teaching  Expanding your Impro
 v: A Deep Dive into Scenework & Character Development \nDesigned for impro
 visers ready to strengthen and expand their scenework. You’ll focus\non 
 how to sustain a scene—staying in it\, building moment to moment\, and d
 iscovering\ninstead of inventing. Through guided exercises and feedback\, 
 you’ll learn to deepen\nconnection\, heighten discovery\, and keep scene
 s alive without forcing or rushing them.\nWe’ll explore how to avoid com
 mon traps like over-planning\, bailing too soon\, going for\nlaughs\, or m
 anufacturing problems\, and instead develop the instincts that support\nau
 thentic\, grounded play.\nCharacter work will serve as one of your main to
 ols—fueling point of view\, emotional\ntruth\, and the relationships tha
 t make scenes dynamic and rich. We will work on building\nimprovisable\, m
 ulti-dimensional characters to help you sustain and grow your scene\nwork.

  I’m Brian Palermo. \nI’m a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwe
 st.  I love Nature and Playfulness. \nI don’t just teach improv\; I hav
 e spent decades living it Los Angeles. I’m a long-time member of the leg
 endary Groundlings Main Company and an original cast member of their hit w
 eekly show\, The Crazy Uncle Joe Show\,’  I’ve clocked thousands of 
 hours learning and sharing the art improv.  I credit my improv skill set 
 for my career working in TV\, stage and film.  My target coaching persona
  is “encouragingly critical” – slathering on the fun and support whi
 le also pointing out ways to evolve your playing style. I am so grateful t
 hat I get to teach and perform internationally. \n\n\n\n\nTashika Campbell
  is teaching Mind the Gap \nMost Improvisors are taught strong initiatio
 ns\, heightening and callbacks\, but there is a fertile\nspace in the midd
 le of a set\, where we are often trying to figure out what happens next. T
 he gap\nbetween the opening scene and the closing scene is the most powerf
 ul\, but often the place where\nwe lose our way the most.\nThis workshop i
 s an exploration of maintaining creative power in the middle. After you ha
 ve\ninitiated and found the unusual thing\, but before the final edit. Thi
 s workshop will focus on\ngroup games\, tag-outs\, runs and object work. \
 n\nJessica Austgen is teaching Acting for Improvisers \nAn exploration of
  scripted acting techniques and how they can be added to your unscripted p
 erformance skills.
