5 spots left
Course Description
How do you expertly survive a game of Questions Only? Can you deliver a 13-word monologue on the spot? In each 2.5 hour session of this four-week deep dive, participants will explore popular verbal restriction games to overcome known frustration points (and discover hacks), enhance their play style, and maybe act a little mischievous! Are you ready to build your confidence and follow this fun? To do the most in this course, you’ll already have seen and played some short-form improv games in class, at a jam, or on stage. This is a practical workshop series, so we'll explore each game through repetitious play. We'll give you time to take notes too. Sessions have brief body breaks built into the timing. *Registration Notes* Two $5 access tickets are available for this course. These places are intended for members of the Ottawa improv community who are in need of financial assistance and/or whose identities are underrepresented in the community.
