Openings, games, and amorphous group scenes are some of the most challenging and rewarding exercises in improv. Incorporating organic group work into a set is an effective way to build ensemble and stand out as an improv team. In this workshop, we will learn and practice multiple techniques to set up our scenes for success and weave together group-think with theatricality to generate themes and ideas to explore and tie together the entire piece.

Spend the afternoon with Big Deborah and tackle exercises that highlight the usefulness of organic group work, the biggest traps that tank a group scene, and how to specifically use organic work to weave together a set.
