Join Us for Our First Actors’ Workshop: Improvisation for Collaboration

Please join Darian Gore and John Ahern on May 27 from 3:00 P.M. for a free workshop on improvisation for collaboration. Attendees will work on skills for live group performances by focusing on skills to help actors collaborate together on and off stage. Some side benefits will be learning how an actor and director can work to find new aspects of characters. Most importantly, just come to have fun with other actors in discovering spontaneous genius. This inaugural workshop will have lots of fun improvisation as we launch our Actors’ Workshop series.

The workshop will be held at Clean Building, 2F Studio A. A 10-minute walk north from Exit 1 at Imaike Station, Nagoya.

14-13 Hōnenchō, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya-shi, Aichi-ken 464-0076

Please R.S.V.P. if you can. We look forward to seeing you there.
