EIIF: Empathy-Driven Improv
with Jim Woods
(Sun 3 Mar: 10am - SOLD OUT)
Having trouble making choices because we're trying so hard to "get it right"?
Make your scenes easier by tapping into what you would do and/or feel in real life. Use your gut response to inform your improv response.
Keep heightened scenes simple by using your own experiences as a touchstone for choices, by staying committed and by using the environment.
Jim Woods has studied and performed extensively at UCB, Boom Chicago, iO Chicago/iO West and North Carolina ComedySportz. He's one of the co-founders of the Free Association in London, the Improv Boot Camp and WGIS in Los Angeles.
