Santa Barbara Improv Workshop

Ben, Brian, Guy, Katie, and Patrick are in a Panel of Experts scene, discussing Graphic Arts. I suppose it’s obvious that I brought hats for the night. The rest of the (record number of) photos can be found in our album.
Yes, we did our usual 1 Word Story as part of our warm ups, and [...]

Here are Justin and Lilia in an Alliteration scene. The rest of the photos from the night (and we’re back to our usual number) can be found in our album.
After our usual warm ups, including the 1 Word Story, we started with our Yes And … exercise. It’s good that we revisit this from time [...]

Here we see Karla, Guy, Allegra, Ben, and Dana in their 1 Word Story group. This is one of only three pictures we have in our album from this class. For some reason not many pictures were taken.

We started the night with warm-ups, and we got in a Story Intro and a Pattern [...]
