This workshop is like going to the gym for formats and edits. We will go through many different, simple, complex, interesting, beautiful, theatrical and clever edits to enhance one of the most important tools for improvising! In the same way we will dive into many different improv formats - both widely and less known - to develop our understanding, knowledge and skills as well rounded improvisers.

We will go through at least physical, heady, structured, abstract, story forward and thematic formats. During the workshop, we will get work on both technical and artistic aspects of edits and formats. We will cover a lot of ground during the workshop and you will walk away with a lot of notes you can share with your own ensemble and thus continue the work at home.
