The following workshops will be held on Saturday morning within various spaces in Village Gate. Each workshop will be repeated twice--one at 9:00am and again at 10:45am. The cost is $40, and you must check in at the Village Idiot's Pillar Theater by 8:50 to be register and be given the exact location of each workshop.

"Intimacy and Group Mind" By Rick Andrews
How do we overcome the fear of improvised performance? By putting trust in our scene partners, groups, and self. In this workshop, we’ll explore the issues of trust, connectivity, intimacy, and group mind from a practical perspective. We’ll work on forging a real connection to our scene partners to get access to more impactful scenework, and we’ll take some of the mysticism out of “group mind” and learn how to connect as an ensemble. Push through your fear to find a better, funnier you.

How to do work to do a one-person improv show.

Even an Idiot can tell a Story

I like Scott Simon. What he says is correct. Get the audience in the first words out of your mouth. Dont go to crazy town right away make it a fun trip to crazy. Names and images are important. And make sure that trip is something they will remember.

Irony City Improv - Dead Actors - The Matrix

Wow, this is sort of a takeoff on moving body parts but one person does the voices. I would love to try this at a show

Whose line is it anyway - UK - moving people -

I normally do not like this game, but it is done really well here. The actors keep on talking,and help the audience members along

ASSSSCAT Improv (5 of 5)

I like the way Tina Fey says this makes me think of that. And then she goes in to a story. I think i am that kind of monologist. Especially when i listen. I love Irwin World but sometimes you have to pay attention. I take that back you always have to pay attention

Family

We are family here at the Vip. And just like a family we should support one another. I was not in last nights show but i came to see my brothers and sister idiots act and be funny. If you possibly can and if it does not conflict with other plans go see a show even if you are not in it. This is not the Irwin Harris idiots or(place your name here) idiots it is the Village Idiots. You may not always agree with the decisions made but you should try and adapt if you can. I am not kissing ass here but thanking my lucky stars that i can perform. I am learning. I sometimes use improv in daily life. Remember it takes a Village to raise an idiot. I think we got raised real good.
