San Francisco-area acting instructor Sarah Shoemaker is coming to Juneau for Sweatin’ to the Improv – a workshop to help you design your custom improvisational theatre workout. Utilizing drills, exercises, and games, each participant will start crafting their own individual sequence of skill builders. And just like any good workout regimen, there are modifications to the exercises to suit both beginners and advanced performers. Participants will cover a range of important skills ranging from listening to stage presence.
Sweatin’ to the Improv is appropriate for performers of all skill levels, and no previous improv experience is required. Shoemaker has an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts, teaches at Leela Theater, and co-produces Femprovisor Fest. The workshop happens on Saturday, Jan. 30 from 2 – 5 p.m. at the Hangar Ballroom. Advance registration is $30 and may be booked at www.asifest.com. Registration is also available for $35 at the door.
