Announcing a special event workshop created specifically for the theatre and improvisation community with Shaun Landry on Sunday, Oct. 6 from 1-3pm: IMPROVISATION FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ACTOR. This workshop is being offered at $25 to encourage members of the theatre community to take advantage of this special event. See Workshops to sign up! Workshop description: Improvisation is a skill every Los Angeles and New York production looks for on your professional resume. From Commedia to Brecht to Mamet to Christopher Guest, improvisation has been used throughout theater history to expand character development, generate ensemble connection and creation, and is a tool to help the professional actor be present onstage and be able to approach any stage situation. Shaun Landry teaches these skills to the professional actor and writer to expand their toolbox not only for improvisation performance but for highlighting and developing classic and new work theater. Ms. Landry will also be focusing on tools for creating and maintaining a safe, professional rehearsal and class environment. https://www.improvaganza.com/workshops #improvaganzahi #improvaganzahi2019 (at Kumu Kahua Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3BQssIDQ19/?igshid=18tno5dp5zjan

Recognized for outstanding skills in theatre, speech, communication and development, these two share a passion for committed character work, grounded platform building and that moment where one realizes that anything can happen in improv!  Recent appearances include Portland, OR; Austin, TX; Juneau, AK; Seattle, WA & Athens, Greece. https://www.instagram.com/p/BndeMOnAAaS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ebf8871vtxs
