Improv and Body Mechanics: 1:00-3:00 pm
Katrina will lead players through a series of exercises that ground and connect performers to their bodies. We will examine the structure of the body, beginning with the skeleton, and work our way outward. We will be exploring where we hold tension in the body by using exercises rooted in tai chi, kundalini yoga, Bartenieff fundamentals, Alexander technique, and bioenergic philosophy. We will unlock our joints, and activate the stored energy in the body to use in creative performance.

Done and done.

What?!? I'm teaching a workshop? I can't divulge my performing secrets!Did I agree to this? Who's in charge? I want to speak to the manager!

Just kidding! Funny ha ha! At the risk of dorking out to the whole of the Austin improv community, let me just say YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA we are coming to Austin!!!!!

Where's our hats? We need cowboy hats! And boots! I'll just put that on the todo list...

KATRINAGREN!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't apart of Texas dress code? Cause we want to blend in. We want to be able to assimilate to Austin culture without sticking out like a sore thumb. I found my hot pink cowboy hat in the closet, I think it will work. The matching boots I lent to one of my drag queen friends, but she's pretty reliable so I think I can get them back before we leave. Look out, Texas!
We will also be carrying around capped Lonestar beers everywhere and occasionally raise them while shouting "Yeha!" Iffn Texans don't like our improv stylings we know our enthusiam will earn us affection.

bump....

Thanks again (pre and post) to everyone who has been so helpful and supportive in getting this thing off the ground! I can't wait to play and party with everyone tonight and learn with you tomorrow.
Austin Improv is the best!
