Workshops
The Blackout
The Blackout is long form with a theatrical feel. No side lines. No sweep edits. No tagouts. Just good old fashioned scene work and lots of it, with a focus on simplicity and realism. If you’re tired of feeling like you need to scream to be heard in your improv, then this is the workshop for you.
