Event description
Longform Tool Kit
(half-day intensive, in-person workshop, Edinburgh)
A half-day intensive workshop examining different styles and formats of longform improv comedy, packed full of exercises to make your longform sets easier, simpler, and more fun.
This 4 hour workshop will involve a mixture of two-person scenes, group games, longform formats and short sets. Participants will be taken through exercises which examine:
- Recycling
- Game of the scene
- Theme
- Edits
- Group scenes
- Narrative improv formats
- Non-narrative improv formats
This workshop is aimed at people who have done some improv before.
Great for improvisers with little to no longform improv experience, and also great for seasoned longform perfomers looking to brush up on some core skills.
As with all of Will's improv workshops, participants will be encouraged to be obvious and to have fun.
