Maui Improv presents a one night workshop w/ Kimee Balmilero

Ever feel like you’ve run out of ideas? Have no more scenes to do? Or wonder, “WHEN IS THAT BLACK OUT GONNA HAPPEN?!” This workshop will focus on ways to get as much out of your suggestions and openings as possible. We will go through different types of openings as well as work on making strong and clear initiations that will have your scene partner(s) LOVING you! In this class we will also explore finding shiny objects and “game” of the scene. Students will have the opportunity to work through all the icky stuff and will walk out feeling even more ready to take on whatever the improv world has to throw at them..’cause you never know…;)
