Treat People with Kindness with Anna Renzenbrink

THE WORKSHOP

What if your improv scenes didn’t need conflict, drama or snark to be compelling? This playful, practical workshop explores acts of kindness, generosity and genuine support on stage. We’ll deliberately play characters who are calm, friendly and nice!
Skills we’ll revise include: saying “yes” with enthusiasm, championing our scene partners and discovering how warmth and connection can create surprising, funny and deeply engaging scenes.
