Workshops
We wanted to do something different than what is already being done well in the greater San Diego Improv community. We offer short term, 2-4 week improv workshops. These workshops will focus on a subject the instructor(s) are passionate about. Whether that is a style of play, an improv theory, a specific form or any number of things, we think this will create a space where creativity and learning thrive.
Welcome to Cornerstone Improv.
Workshops Open for Registration:
“Initiation Station” with JillAnne Aden
Express yourself and fill that space with your big, bold choices! In this workshop we will focus on good ol’ fashioned goofball silliness, intentionality of our words, and making whimsical and wild choices to initiate our scenes. We will be using various creative scene starters, some physicality and many unique perspectives to help ourselves make these types of daring decisions in our every day improv. Set your scenes up for success by focusing on the many ways a suggestion can inspire! Harness the power of “yes…and’ing” your scene partners’ wild choices and let’s see where it can go! Lots of quick, fun games, short form exercises and tons of positive play in this 3 hour workshop!
Prerequisites: Suitable for Intermediate to Advanced improvisers.
