PGraph's Signature Intensive
PGraph's Signature Intensive (12 hours)
Join Kaci, Kareem, Roy, and Valerie for a weekend improv intensive you don't want to miss. Intuitive narrative improvisation, long-form improv that tells an entire story, is the bread-and-butter of the award-winning work Parallelogramophonograph does.
After 9+ years and 580+ shows together performing in over 40 national and international cities, PGraph has honed their very own brand of improvisational theatre using intuitive storytelling, complex relationships, bold characters, and highly-connected group mind. In this intensive you'll buckle down for a fun and immersive weekend learning PGraph's favorite exercises, methods, theories, and tricks for creating dynamic improvised plays on the spot.
This workshop has sold-out in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia and is limited to 16 students.
"An unforgettable weekend learning from some of the best." - London Improviser
"These four are masters of their craft and synonymous with US narrative improv. If this is the direction you want to play, this is an absolute must. If you don't, but you want to stretch out your story muscles, this is still a must." -Austin Improviser
"If you haven't done PGraph's intensive, you should do this as you haven't done -anything- till you've done this. Awesome and inspiring." -Vancouver Improviser
PGraph Group Bio:
Since their premier in November of 2005, Parallelogramophonograph has been more than just any improv troupe. Fiercely dedicated to the craft and art of improvised theatre, PGraph has held a weekly show non-stop for over 8 years. Early on in their time together Kaci Beeler, Kareem Badr, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward knew they wanted to do something different onstage. Intrigued by the challenge of telling fantastic fully-improvised stories together as an ensemble, PGraph spent years developing original formats and studying the art of theatre, improv, and storytelling. They've toured the country and the world performing and teaching their unique brand of improv with ensemble appearances in over 40 cities in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Renowned for their theatricality, playfulness, and hive-mind like ensemble, their goal with every show is to push both themselves and the art of improvisation to new and dizzying heights while taking the audience along for a joyous ride. The members of PGraph regularly teach, direct, and perform in shows at The Hideout Theatre in Austin, Texas. Check out PGraph.com for more information.
