Whole Body Listening

Listen up! One major skill all schools of improvisation have in common is the need for listening. True listening is a whole body activity requiring constant engagement in the improviser’s body, brain, heart, and spirit of
play. This workshop uses two-person scenes to help players listen to both each other and themselves. You should hear what you’re missing.
