THE STUPOR GAMES
Take everything you thought you knew about short-form improv and throw it out the window. In this workshop we’ll dive into a whole new bag of tricks from fresh takes on classic games to far-out experimental games that push the art of improv into fun new territory. Experience the full scope of what short form has to offer as you sharpen your wit, boost your acting chops, and become a bolder, more playful performer. And on top of that, you’ll walk away with a long list of hot new games added to your playbook!
All Levels Are Welcome, Best for players who are comfortable with the basics of scene work and stage performance.
