Elective Class this Weds: Breaking Stereotypes

[Jon Bolden]

Hey y'all!

I've been working months on a curriculum for a two hour elective course. I'm excited to share it with you. As always, my electives are workshops in the truest sense of the word. It's us on our feet, trying things. I won't be just talking at you the whole time (honest Ohioan).

Come check it out this Weds from 7-9pm at The Hideout. It's $5 for enrolled Hideout students and $15 for non-enrolled folks.

Description:

Somewhere out there, there is a football jock that loves the opera. There is an elderly woman who is an iPhone app developer. One of the most exciting elements of improvising is the chance to create characters and scenarios that you’ve never considered before. Far too often we limit ourselves to playing types and give into social expectations. In this elective, we’ll explore exercises to break habits and explore scenes with original personalities, ultimately resisting the urge to stereotype ourselves. We’ll also practice not worrying the label of who/what we are and the things we are doing.

This may be for you if:
- You find yourself playing the same characters a lot
- You feel pressure to do/say something because of who your character is
- You feel limited, in general
- Jon has threatened you personally to come

Can't make this workshop, but it sounds great. Hope it goes well and that you offer it again in the future!

Absolutely! They take cash / credit. Also, you can buy online for the same price (no process fees).
