The Run
in Meet 4 with Wei Joo Ooi
The Run is a fun, high energy workshop that will invite participants to be joyfully reckless. Even though speed is often seen as a short-form skill, the aim here is to build towards performing “The Run”. Originally a component of the Deconstruction format, it can be used in any long-form format to close out a show. So if you want to sharpen your speed, pick up the pace and be kept on your toes, this is your launchpad!

Scenes that could have Ended with a Kiss
in Meet 5 with John Tapp & Kate Bishop
Have you ever wanted 2 characters to fall in love, but weren’t sure how to make that offer to your scene partner? Do you know how to demonstrate attraction between 2 characters?
We will look at some techniques for this, while enabling your partner to decline the offers you might make.
There may be some very limited physical contact during this workshop (e.g. holding hands). This will be on an ‘opt-in’ basis.

Become Fluent in Gibberish
in Meet 11 with James Cannon
Gibberish is used all the time in Improv, and we’re going to teach you how to speak it! If you’ve ever wanted to sound like you know what you’re talking about, Gibberish is the language for you. You’ll go from a few short phrases to sounding like a native in no time.
This is a skills-based workshop, focusing on the skill of talking gibberish. There will be elements with large numbers of people talking at the same time.

Bit Parts
in Cedar with Dave Tuer
When in a show with many performers, we can sometimes feel a bit stood on the sidelines. We need to let our fellow performers shine and run their scenes, but we’d like to get on stage. This is where bit parts come in: that one-line entry and exit; walking through with something relevant; answering a callout from the scene; adding background to the location. This workshop will focus on identifying and fulfilling bit parts, without derailing the scene.
