Improv Made Easy with Jet Eveleth - Sunday, June 8, 2025 @ 12:00 PM
This workshop is for performers who are feeling stuck in their head. Created to help improvisers descend into the body and following the moment. It offers a totally different approach that invites the performer to dream and play. This interactive workshop focuses on being present, finding emotional depth and truth. The performer will be invited to bring more authenticity to the stage. This style is derived from the approach of Mick Napier as well as Paola Colletto and Tj and Dave. Open to all levels as the techniques will be new to everyone.

Show Review
“If a good joke is one that no one expects, then Eveleth has done just that. Just five minutes in, the tension had the crowd howling with laughter. I got the feeling these two could reach into each other’s minds. Astonishing, seamless… something to behold. They had us in the palm of their hand and the laughter and applause was insatiable. Comedy unlike anything I’ve ever seen. ”
