Whether it's a play, musical, movie or any other story based structure, creating an improvised narrative requires the development of the collective mind; giving the group the ability to see the same direction and stay on the same page. The Story Building Workshop will utilize exercises specifically designed to strengthen the listening and choice skills required to create and grow a story. The class will workshop these exercises and then apply them to several story based improv structures.
