The Witches of MiamiLongform Improv Boston, MA - Portland, OR - San Francisco, CA You’re invited to our Slumber Party! Brave topics, genuine friendship, onesie pajamas! What is something you’d tell your middle school-age self? Betse Green, Diana Brown, and Deana Criess explore that question in this fast-paced, always silly, sometimes raw, character-driven romp. Slumber Party features three of the country’s most sought after improv performers/teachers, with special guests from the fest popping in to share the fun. The audience is invited to join us as we re-visit our younger selves and play with the hilarity found in the awkward discovery of who we are and how we fit into the larger world. Confessions, advice, stories, and flashbacks, all discovered live with the audience. Onesies, blankets, and pillows are encouraged as we all get comfy and settle in for the journey inside the minds of three young people trying to figure it all out.

The Next 3 Minutes Instructor: Joe Bill In this workshop we’ll touch on techniques from The First 30 Seconds and then focus on forwarding into and through your scenes as a co-author/co-actor with your scene partner(s). We’ll build on the ideas of your character knowing HOW they are (disposition) being tied to knowing Who they are, and then Listening Strategically, Emotionally and Psychologically. I’ll show you Meisner (actors will recognize this, now you will too!) hacks to get to recognizing the Truth of the Moment, and I’ll teach you how “Listening is the Willingness to Change” is the key idea in forwarding your scenes through relationship and story as they evolve. I’ll also tie all of this into “Game of the Scene” AND I’ll give some general and specific individual feedback about things you can focus on in your improvisation, going forward.

ImprompTwoDuo Improv Sarasota, FL STORIES: SCENES FROM A BUILDING Picture it: A small walk-up apartment building in New York (but it could be any city). On the ground floor, a small business - maybe a bodega, a book shop, a shoe repair or... ? Upstairs, there's a revolving series of renters, some there for the short term, others linger for a while. It's NY after all. Nothing stays the same for too long. In a series of time jumps, we explore how these lives change and intersect, and how they are affected by both history and each other. In the end, it's ImprompTwo's unique mix of humor and passion, silences and quick banter that will pull you into their stories...of a building. Information Source: Miami Improv Festival | eventbrite
