Improv Utopia East 2024
Michelle Giorlando presents
Elective: Little Scene on the Prairie
Workshop
Let's explore initiations and characters for genre scenes! This workshop will give you practice on how to inject genre scenes into any set or game, not just a genre-specific one. We'll look at shortcuts to genre through initiations, scene building and characters to get a scene off the ground.
All levels are welcome!
