Be More Playful With Jet Eveleth (10/19 @11am-2pm)

This workshop is for performers who are feeling stuck in their head. Created to help comedians descend into the body and following the moment. It offers a totally different approach to comedy that invites the performer to dream and to find a sense of freedom and play. This style is derived from the approach of Mick Napier as well as Paola Colletto. Open to all levels as the techniques will be new to everyone.
