Workshop: Improv for Poets and Geniuses

Directed by Shannon Manning, who studied with the legendary Del Close, the Improv for Poets and Geniuses workshop is based on the premise that improv can be done by anyone, and that anyone can benefit from improv.

Artists, musicians, sculptors, DJs, fashionistas, political activists, lawyers, writers — improv can be a useful tool for any creative profession.

This workshop will help you be more YOU, on stage, and off, whether you have never done improv before or are on top of your game. Also it will help you be whoever else you might want to be.

This is a DROP-IN class with all levels. You are neither too advanced nor too beginner for this adventure.

YOU MUST sign up for mailing list here: http://poetsandgeniuses.com
to introduce yourself and reserve your spot!

A secondary mission of this workshop is to foster artistic connections between my artistic friends, to build community. Improv is a great tool for getting others to know what you are about and whether they want to work with you, in any field. Most days people will hang out a bit afterwards.

If you feel like it, bring something that you are working on that you would like to share with others. Unfinisheder the better. A song, some writing, something you can show. We’re gonna try something cool.

NO PREPARATION NEEDED, but if you want to check out the tab on the website called improv 101, you’ll get some background.

Next scheduled workshop dates will be AT UNION HALL. Every other Sunday 3-6pm.
