Description:
This improv workshop is all about having fun with failure! (Or, as it is sometimes called: “playing to lose”)
About instructor: Kristin Firth is a veteran improvised theater performer, director, and teacher. She put together some of her favorite improv games and exercises from over the last 10+ years to build a workshop targeted at a specific gaming skill – being able to fail fabulously.
About workshop: As humans who are hard-wired to care about self-preservation, that instinct can carry over into our games leading us to want our characters to always do well and accomplish things. The goal of this workshop will be to attack that instinct and emphasize that failure can be fun too! Sometimes the best thing for the game or the story isn’t good for your character, but “bad” for your character can be super fun and interesting for you, the player. To help us experience that and work on quashing those self-preservation instincts, this workshop is full of exercises where you are losing, dying, having bad stuff thrust upon you, etc. – but in a totally fun way!
In this improv workshop we will all be participating and moving around, so wear clothing you will feel comfortable in. Complete beginners are absolutely welcome! Every game we play will be expected to be new to most folks and thoroughly explained.
