Workshop ‘Desire; From Hunch to Story!’

Work at the crossroads of improv and desire

About the show:

In this laboratory, we play at the crossroads of improv and desire. We don’t look for stories. We let them find us, like desire does. Then we hone them into stories and go back to improv to help us perform them. This is a laboratory from which you’ll hopefully leave with a short story about, inspired by, or created through desire, but definitely you will have worked on skills that will proper you further on the artistic path.
