About the Workshop
This workshop is perfect for experienced improvisers looking to get sharper, faster, and have more fun on stage.
In this 2 hour workshop, Robert Kalia Kapaku will be teaching the means, methods, and mayhem that create Chicago’s longest-running shortform improv show, ComedySportz. We’ll practice exercises and skills purpose-built to accelerate your brain and get to the fun faster.
We’ll also learn how shortform skills and longform skills can go hand-in-hand to complement each other. Practicing shortform skills can help cultivate more satisfying longform improv, better improv auditions for all forms, and be a ton of fun!
SPACE IS LIMITED!
