Get into Trouble, Fall in LoveAs improvisers we don't often have set or costumes or props. The only thing that's real on an improv stage is you and your scene partner (and maybe a few chairs if you're fancy). So logically, as the only other real, living, breathing thing in the scene, your relationship to your scene partner is of the utmost importance. You can transform your improv by learning to forge an emotional connection with them. Feel something - deeply, irrationally, completely and see how your scenes blossom in delightful and unfathomable ways. This workshop will teach you a half-dozen performance grade techniques that you can use immediately to get out of your head and improvise from your heart. Whether you know your fellow improviser well or are playing with them for the first time, harness the power of giving a damn about them.About Chris Mead (UK)Chris is a UK-based performer and theatre-maker who teaches and coaches improvisation in London.
