Value, Contextualize, Justify (Andreas Anterot) IMPROFEST WORKSHOP

Sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of an improv scene, realising you don't know what the
scene is about. At the same time, the audience wonders why you've missed so many opportunities.
In this workshop, we will practice not only accepting our scene partner's offers but also valuing them, so that we can quickly create interesting scenes without long, boring intros. Scenes that continue to be interesting and don't fizzle out once the initial idea has been exhausted. We will practice making blod choices and throwing curveballs, but above all, unpacking blod choices and contextualizing curveballs so that our justifications breathe life into statements instead of killing them.
We will approach these concepts from various angles, touching on cumulative acceptance, scene painting, space work, pattern building and narrative storytelling in the process.
