ABOUT THE disability events WORKSHOP
In an improv show, everything is made up. Your favourite improv games can become a discovery tool for performing and discovering new aspects to your character. In this workshop, we'll learn & practice three improv games, and then subtly bring them into our dramatic scenes.
