PGraph's Narrative Intensive

Post by kaci_beeler »

We've been wanting to do this for a long time, and with our upcoming trip to Edinburgh, Scotland for a month, this intensive is the perfect way for us to raise money doing what we love so very dearly.

Join Kaci, Kareem, Roy, and Valerie for a weekend improv intensive you don’t want to miss. Narrative improvisation, long-form improv that tells a story, is the bread-and-butter of the award-winning work Parallelogramophonograph does. After 5+ years and 350+ shows together performing in over 20+ cities, PGraph has honed their very own brand of improvisational theatre using intuitive storytelling, complex relationships, bold characters, and highly-connected group mind. In this intensive you’ll buckle down for a fun and immersive weekend learning PGraph’s favorite exercises, methods, theories, and tricks for creating improvised plays on the spot.

3 Days. 4 Teachers. 12 Hours. 16 Students Max.
Only $115.

Sat, Sun, and Mon, 11am - 4pm each day, with an hour break for lunch. Hosted at the Hideout Theatre.

If I wasn't out of town for Memorial Day weekend, I'd so be there.

For the love of all that is good and right in this world, I hope that you guys do this again so that I too can be blessed by your collective wisdom and whimsy.

Signed up! Can't wait!
The silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe. A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee. She says "My body is the life; my body is the way." I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet.

And...it's sold out.

If there's enough interest, we'll find a way to do this again soon. Chime in if you seriously wanted to take it but couldn't make it work with your schedule this time around.
