Game is Everywhere – A workshop on simplifying Game of the Scene – Alex Holland

Game gets a reputation for being very heady and prescriptive, but it is simply the process of noticing what you’ve done that is funny and choosing to focus on it. In this workshop, we’ll look to demystify the theory on Game and simplify it into playable terms that work with the way you perform. Game is adaptive to whatever improv play style and approach you take, it’s the point at which you move from doing things that are funny by accident, to being an intentional comedic performer.

Improv Experience: Intermediate improv experience – students should be confident improvising committed scenes.
