Workshops With Kristen Schier and Amie Roe
The Kristen and Amie Show is coming to town, and while they're here, the dynamic duo will conduct workshops to impart some improv wisdom and skillz. K & A's workshops are always fun and always insightful, so you definitely won't want to miss these great opportunities to add some extra items to your improvisational comedy toolbox!
AMIE ROE - BODY LANGUAGE - 11 AM - 2 PM
In this workshop, students will practice the skills of observing, interpreting, and being affected by everything that's communicated through the body.
KRISTEN SCHIER - SCRUTINY - 3 PM - 6 PM
In various intensive exercises we will together take apart what you do as an improviser to try to understand it more. In this workshop you will learn more about your go to rhythms physicality and scenic choices. With this scrutiny we will hopefully find ways to expand your range. Once you know what it is you do, you can do what you like. The idea here is to champion control and power in creation over habit and predictability.

She is co-creator and a producer of Duofest, an improv festival dedicated to improv duos.
She's proud to say that she has studied improv at the Magnet Theater, the Philly Improv Theater (PHIT), and throughout the country, with amazing people such as Armando Diaz, Louis Kornfeld, Jill Bernard, Craig Cackowski, Keith Johnstone, and Susan Messing, to name a few.
When she is not on stage, Amie is a psychotherapist in private practice. She likes running, knitting, astrology, and iced tea.
