Character Discovery with Andy Assaf!

Saturday June 14th 1-3pm

Prerequisite: Montreal Improv Level 4 (or equivalent) experience. Email classes@montrealimprov.com if you’re new to Montreal Improv and aren’t sure where your experience level fits!

A perfect workshop to FIND the fun of improvised characters. 

Andy developed this workshop from training at various theatres with Improv styles to focus on playfulness and noticing the little moments. This workshop will get you out of your head, into your body, and find inspiration with creating memorable and 3 dimensional characters both solo and in scenes. 

Find uncharted fun (and therefore the funny) of a scene with the amazing power of discovery!

Workshop will be in English.
