Be Curious

with Stacey Hallal

In this workshop, you will learn the Curious Comedy approach to long form improvisation.

You’ll start with a fresh take on staying in the moment and out of your
head, then discover easy tools for understanding story structure, explore the differences
between game and relationship, and practice engaging and dynamic storytelling.

Prerequisites: Impro Melbourne's Spontaneity and Narrative, or similar training at the discretion of the Artistic Director or course instructor.

Age requirement: 18 and over. Please see our Impro in Schools programs for anyone under 18.
