Impro: Storytelling Workshop with Jim Libby

In this workshop, we will explore some of the basics of storytelling in improvisation and try out various tools and techniques to improve our skills. We’ll also look at the challenges improvisers face when trying to find a balance between creating, constructing, and discovering stories.

The goals of this workshop are: To develop a basic understanding of what a ‘Story’ is and can be, to inspire performers to explore, question, and create, and to have a lot of fun while doing it!
