There are no safety nets in immersive, interactive improv shows but that doesn't mean it should be a high wire, death defying act. Growing comfort with performing with strangers also builds our resilience and ability to perform with inexperienced or difficult teammates too. In this workshop we explore performing with strangers, be it non-improvisers or inexperienced performers, levering our strengths, and theirs too, even if they don’t know they have them!
