As we all know, Canada is an enormous block of ice perched atop the promontory of the western brow, and is a land of snow, hockey, and beer. You may not be aware, however, that it is also the home and birthplace of the world's most famous short-form improv formats.
In this three hour intensive, we will learn the shit out of the importance of short form improv, crucial and often forgotten improv techniques, and focusing especially on exercising short-form values in longer improv sets.
Get ready to ride the walrus!
