WORKSHOP: Trent Pancy - Yes Yourself ­Chicago Style Improvisation

Yes Yourself is a workshop designed to force improvisers to take care of themselves as a way taking care of others. Strong scenes are built on strong characters. This workshop will help you develop the skills necessary to create strong characters at the top of a scene, and then filter the entire scene through your character’s unique point of view. We will learn what makes Chicago Improv so unique, and how to emulate the slow, patient, relationship based scenes that make Chicago Style Improv so enjoyable to perform and to watch. Yes yourself, supportyour team.
