The Return of the PGraph Narrative Intensive July 9-10th

Post by Roy Janik »

As you know, we've got a few fundraising efforts underway for our upcoming trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. We're selling Kareem shirts (more on that later), and we've got a kickstarter going.

But our absolute favorite way to raise money is through teaching. At the end of May we taught the first ever PGraph Narrative Intensive, and it went swimmingly.

So we're doing it again!

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.

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

“These four are masters of their craft and synonymous with narrative improv. If this is the direction you want to play, this is an absolute must. If you don’t, but you want to stretch out your story muscles, this is still a must.” -Student feedback about the last intensive

“Some of Austin’s FINEST purveyors of genre improvisation” – The Austinist

“Always been bright and inventive” -The Austin Chronicle

“Hi, I’m Amy Heckerling. That was a really good show, I enjoyed it.”
-Amy Heckerling, director of Clueless, Johnny Dangerously, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Outstanding Work in Improvisational Theater – B. Iden Payne Awards
Official Selection: Chicago Improv Festival, Seattle Festival of Improvisation, Providence Improv Festival, Montreal Improv Festival, Twin Cities Improv Festival, and many more.

One final note: Since this is a part of our fundraising efforts, if you'd like to give more you can register for the intensive on the Kickstarter page for $250. You'll get a spot in the workshop, 4 tickets to The Spectacle, and a custom video from Scotland.

I took the P-graph intensive class in May and it was a great class. Good mix of information and stage time. And it drew students from lots of different theaters in town with a range of improv experience.

I give it my endorsement, which means you should totally take it if you have the chance!

You should also totally buy this Happy Hotdog Man and get those ketchup and mustard things for free:

This concludes my paid endorsements for the evening.

Is there a way to pay this is installments? I really want to do it but I might have to wait till after payday to pay the full price and I just know that the class will be full then.
