🍎Short-Form Improv Workshop with Caitlin Brady🍎

Short-form improv consists of fast-paced, structured games and scenes that prioritize quick thinking, audience interaction, and punchline-driven humor. The form is all about rapid-fire laughs, big characters, and team chemistry, similar to the style of Whose Line is it Anyway?, ComedySportz, and Dropout TV’s Game Changer.

This new workshop builds on participants’ prior experience in long-form improv, leveraging long-form skills for short-form games. These games are a great way to deepen skills like listening, heightening, emotional memory, creativity, collaboration, and confidence. You’ll leave with tools to be a better improviser and scene partner.

This workshop is useful for experienced improvisers who want to translate their skills to short-form, experimenting with character, pace, and heightening. Short-form is a team-based structure, so participants are expected to work together.
