Improv is a co-creative art-form and not an individual sport - that can be hard to remember in scenes and on stage though! The sense of magic when two or more people are improvising in a connected way is totally enthralling to watch.

In this workshop we will explore:

• spotting how the disconnects happen under pressure
• quieting the parts of our brains that are desperate to make a clever and funny plan
• deep listening and connection.

Expect slow-burn connected improv with a side-helping of possible ego-loss (in a good way!)
