As with the Level 1 classes, these workshops tend to have an overall "personality" - maybe the class in general is high energy, but weak on adding information, or sometimes it's a class of very cerebral types who struggle with commitment. Once we had a half-day workshop that had several middle-aged ladies in it. They'd never met before the class, but it turned out they were all raunchy and dropped more F-bombs in 4 hours than I had previously thought possible. And that's saying something, given my propensity for profanity.
This particular class was a class of people who seemed to really listen. They listened to Darren's instructions. They listened to each other. They listened to critiques. As a result, by the end of class they were doing some stuff that we don't even get to until week 5 in the Level 1 class.
Anyway, we have one more 1/2-day improv workshop this year, in November. If you've never tried improv, this is a great way to dip your toes in the water and see if you like it. If you've taken some improv way back in the day, it's a great way to work off the rust. And if you're a current improv addict, it's a great chance to practice the fundamentals and get your improv kool-aid fix.
You're welcome.
