Carla Cackowski presents
CREATE A NEW FORM
Workshop
A group of people working together to build something from nothing is the foundation of all great improv groups. In this workshop participants will be led through a series of exercises building group mind and focusing on group scenes. Emphasis is taken off the individual and placed on exploring improv through the ensemble’s eye. The goal is to create a new form from the ground up that will debut for the first time on the last night of camp.
