Dennis Pacheco
Improv Utopia EAST 2025
Dennis Pacheco presents
The Cartoon
Workshop
Movement- and physicality-focused scenes take place in a heightened, cartoonish world employing tropes inspired by classic animated shorts from Warner Brothers, MGM, Disney, Fleischer Studios, etc. Scenework prioritizes simple, heightened emotion and over-the-top physicality over dialogue.
The scenes are all underscored with classic cartoon music to inspire and support the scene.
All levels are welcome.
