SPECIAL JAM - BREAK IT TO MAKE IT!

  • Big Fork Theatre 252 Saint Pauls Terrace Fortitude Valley, QLD, 4000 Australia (map)

We are lucky to have Maurissa Afanador in Brisbane and available to deliver this 2 hour workshop before our shows start back on the 8th!

Break it to Make It

Most performance-level improvisers have a tool kit of approaches, choosing their instruments relative to the needs of each ensemble…if we are mindful. Mostly, however, we go on automatic and just do the thing that has worked for us time and again.

What if you were willing to break your patterns of comfort in order to bring your performance to the next level?

Maurissa will walk you through an organic improv method that demands mindfulness for its execution - though it requires absolutely nothing but your presence and your partner. You’ll seed a strong start, and build on this strong start with a writer’s efficiency without sacrificing your play and freedom as a player.

Recommended experience level: Group Mind OR a drive to level up.

Maurissa is the vendor-manager and lead improv instructor of The Arts at Google, theater program in Mountain View, CA.
