Chickprov with Master Instructor Rachel Hamilton (ladies only!)

November 15, 2014 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

see eventbrite link

Chickprov is a Ladies’ Only Workshop taught by Emmy Award winning writer and master improv instructor, Rachel Hamilton. No Boys Allowed. 

This workshop will, of course, begin with a lingerie-clad pillow fight, after which, time permitting, we will improvise. We will play with the intention of exploring the ways in which we as women have internalized what is culturally expected of us.

• What do we not allow ourselves to say? To be?
• Where do we hit our heads on our own permission of how we are allowed to behave?

In this workshop we will look at the limiting beliefs we as female improvisers have ingested and play with getting that nonsense out of our systems . We will emerge as bolder improvisers who play fiercely, with more freedom and truth.

Light “Wine” Down and Chat Time directly following the workshop…

Location:

ProtoHub Honolulu
