SPECIAL ONE-TIME WORKSHOP WITH AN IMPROV LEGEND!

INITIATIONS & GIFTING w. RICH TALARICO
Students will learn how to initiate organic scenes, emphasizing discovery over intention. Giving and using gifts allow players to focus on relationships over situations and to dig deeper into character and story, and to grow characters by exploring endowments from our scene partners. 

Intermediate - advanced
