[CLASS] Improv Workshop with Annoyance Theater's Chris Kervick
by Common Room Theatre 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

What: Improv Workshop: Make a Godd*mn Choice: How Characters Thrive in Improv Where: Hofbrauhaus Feast Hall When: Saturday 2/29 from 3-5pm Who: Hosted by Common Room Theatre, Instructed by Chris Kervick. About the workshop: Sure, you can walk into your scene, wing it, and get through it - but it doesn’t always work out. Stepping out with a character choice is one of the strongest moves an improviser can make. This workshop sheds some light on how making a choice can protect and empower you, and how you can have more fun with the characters you play. About the instructor: Chris Kervick is an instructor at The Annoyance Theater in Chicago (2014-current), teaching AP1: Chicago Improv for Beginners and AP6: Creating an Annoyance Show. He currently produces the LGBTQ+ variety show, Baby Wine, which just began its fifth year of shows after featuring over 125 queer acts in 2019. He is a Resident Director at the Annoyance and has directed Burlesque is More, The Annoyance Christmas Pageant, The Gobbler's Knob Groundhog Day Spectacular, and Nuggets Short Form Improv, among others. In the summer of 2020, he will direct a remount of Steamworks: The Musical, an original musical he helped devise and script in 2011. He has appeared onstage in Steamworks, CoEd Prison Sluts, and Ponyboy. Chris returns to Cleveland with pride as a former member of CWRU's IMPROVment and as a Cavs fan. Registration: https://squareup.com/store/common-room-theatre Class size limited to 16 students. $20 online or $25 drop-in (space permitting) -- Common Room Theatre www.commonroomtheatre.com commonroomtheatre(a)gmail.com 216-714-3371
