Improvisation with Folklore – Workshop

Improvisation is not just for actors and standup comedians.

In this in-person workshop at Treadwell's, Katy Schutte brings it to folklore explorers, spell-casting witches, ritual magicians, yoga buffs, storytellers, and the enthusiastically curious. Starting with a story from London occult folklore, she takes the class into chats, scenes and exercises of improv – a form which cultivates  movement and voice while liberating the storytelling imagination. No previous experience is expected; just bring willingness to experiment.

Runs 7pm to 9.15 pm, max 14 places. Please wear comfortable clothes.
