Improv For Athletes

Deep listening. Saying yes. Supporting. Risking. Moving, opening, working in and out of structure; giving and taking. These qualities are the hallmarks of successful play both on the field and on the stage. Improvisational games give your team the opportunity to practice these skills from a new vantage point opening up possibilities for growth and deepening their athletic experience. The hour and a half workshop is designed for all levels of experience.

The Divine Clown: Comedy and the Heightened State of Being

This three hour workshop is a deep dive into the history of clowning introducing three of it’s major components: physicality, status and playing in the heightened ‘trance state’. Based on the teachings of Jacques Lecoq, students spend the first hour exploring dramatic gymnastics and telling story with the physical self. Hour two is an investigation of status through games and character creation. Finally, we finish the workshop in the space of discovery and delight, re-learning to see the world through fresh eyes and to dwell in the Heightened State of the Divine Clown.
