Starting a Show with Trevor Silverstein
Saturday, September 26, 2020 | 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Hosting a show or even just asking for a suggestion can often be the most daunting part of any improv show. But it doesn’t have to be! Whether you’re hosting alone, in a duo, or with a full team, this workshop will be geared towards making you feel calm, cool, collected AND PREPARED, so that the audience feels that way too. It will explore many different ways of hitting the stage, warming up the crowd and engaging with them to find inspiration for your shows.
