Performing The Tree of Life: Improv and The Animal Kingdom
This 2-hr workshop teaches the physical embodiment of animals in improv, going beyond our old familiar animals. Explore the vast world of strange creatures in all the branches of the animal kingdom by learning to enact them in comedy! For beginner through advanced performers. Hosted by Nico Zaunbrecher!
