EIIF: Initiate by Responding

with Erik Tanouye

(Sat 22 Mar: 10am)

Learn how to get your scenes started right from the jump by beginning with the response to an initiation. What information is essential? How can you avoid taking away your scene partner's freedom to play?

Participants should have basic improv training.

Erik Tanouye performed and taught improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade for nearly two decades. He also ran the UCB Training Centre in New York for over ten years. Currently, he works at The New School in Greenwich Village, NYC. He still performs regularly and writes about improv.

If you are able and wish to support the improv community, you can now donate a workshop place! Ed Improv Fest will then be able to offer a free place to someone who would otherwise not have been able to attend.

Pay it Forward
