Festival Workshops


*Workshops are open to participants of all genders!

Workshops Saturday February 29th
10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.


Being A Dream Partner - Jill Bernard
Improv is rarely a solo endeavor. This workshop will focus on how you can become the best possible partner your teammates could imagine. Games and exercises showing how to listen to what your partner really wants, and turn them into a rockstar. If we're all doing this for each other, we're a team of rockstars and we all win!

Your Moment - Shannon Stott
This workshop focuses on identifying and moving through the moments in which you are verbally, mentally and physically holding back on stage. Shannon Stott encourages and guides players to improvise boldly and to take up space in spite of stereotypical feedback from fellow players. Expect to push your improv boundaries.

2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

The Fireball Theory - Jill Bernard
This workshop presents Jill Bernard's Fireball Theory and offers exercises to help you improvise faster and harder than you can judge yourself. You will learn to metaphorically hit the scene running and outrun the explosion of self-loathing and doubt like an action movie hero outruns a fireball thus defying the laws of physics. Please wear closed toe shoes to this workshop.

Finding Yourself On Stage - Shannon Stott
What happens when you bump into your genuine thoughts, emotions and even your own physicality on stage? Your audience leans in and you connect with them and your fellow players. Shannon Stott helps you lean in to showing up fully as yourself in scenes to connect with your audience, enrich your characters and use what is in you to have a more dynamic stage experience.
