In this 3-hour workshop, Diana Brown assisted by long time collaborator Dan Wilson will create/curate exercises on the spot to address whatever is challenging the improvisor in the moment. This master class will:

1. Help you respond to your scene-partner in a deeply visceral and truthful way.

2. Explore where your current choices lead you and help you make choices that are even more satisfying to play out.

3. Deepen your trust in your own instincts.

This fun and focused lab will expand your confidence and creativity and help you make more intentional choices.
