The Absurdist’s Advantage: Turning Mistakes into Masterpieces
What if the thing that “went wrong” is actually the most interesting thing in the scene? Inspired by absurdist theatre & surrealism, The Absurdist’s Advantage invites improvisers into a creative space where mistakes, contradictions, non-sequiturs, and unexpected impulses become the raw material for original theatrical work.

Never Walk Through a Mime Table Again
Fly a jet, drive a mega-robot, stroll through verdant gardens or throw a can of beer to your flatmate. Learn how to create environments and objects that the audience will really see and remember as if your blank stage was a film!

Investment, Intensity, and Intention
We've all been there: standing in the wings, mind blank, heart racing, thinking "I got nothin’." Whether you're about to initiate a scene or jump into one already in motion, that moment of paralysis is universal — but it shouldn’t be a wall.
Taking Care of the "Now"
If you take care of the "now" in any improv scene, the future always shows up as a great scene with give and take. If you don't take care of the "now", the future never shows up and the scene spins into quicksand.

The Power of You
Have you lost your character and your character’s point of view in a scene? Do you defer to your scene partner asking a lot of questions that stagnate the scene? Do you talk too much and not use your body to inform your character? Do you struggle with playing a talking head and standing at the “Improv 11” (front center with your scene partner)?
