Coup de Comedy 2024

Join us for a hybrid exploration of Puppet Improv Comedy!

If possible get a puppet before the workshop (here, here, or here are some good options) or some options will be on site). An arm rod puppet is ideal, but any puppet (even just your hand!) is ok.

Learn about an awareness of your position in the frame of the camera, much like your position on stage and how they are both tools to tell a story. You'll also explore how emotional commitment is key for scene success. Brian will share how to puppeteer a bit with spontaneity in mind because improv doesn't give you much time to set up a particular movement, you just gotta go!

Those who register to participate will be able to try some of the techniques themselves. There will also be a Zoom option to just observe.
