YOUR POWER IMPROV TOOLKIT w/ Joe Bill
The focus of this workshop will be bringing the power of depth and point of view to your improvised Characters and Scenes. We’ll work with understanding the vital differences in playing Short Form vs. Long Form Characters, and will include personal feedback with things to work on going forward. This workshop will perfectly augment ongoing study of Characters and Scene, Long Form Improvisation and Harold, as well as benefit the Improviser that is currently performing or aspiring to perform with a team or group.

GET TO THE POINT w/ Mark Sutton
Have you ever created something great at the top of a scene and then lost it? Have you started with wonderful character and then struggled to keep it wonderful during the scene. Have you found yourself "lost" as the scene progressed? Well...NO MORE!! This workshop will help you FOCUS. You'll learn how to better connect with your character, identify and heighten what you're about and see the scene through your own unique point of view. Stay stronger...longer, and make better scenes.

Get on it, folks.

Are you guys going to be in the boat with them or are you guys going to be an opening act?

Get Up's opening in our slot. Not sure what Chris and Tami have in mind, but I'm guessing opening as well. Who know's, they're playful, so there might be some last minute additions and changes.

It smells like Austin in here...

Can't wait to see everyone in 3 weeks for shows, and workshops and beer.

I like weed.

kisses.

See!!! I told you guys!!!

I do not like weed. But...I'm excited to come back to Austin. I do like Stubb's Bar-B-Que. And...I like beer. I also like to wash down Bar-B-Que with cold beer.

I'm hoping something like that can be arranged.
