A Saturday Dose of Fun (improv games for grownups with Henry Balzarini)
The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United StatesWarning: This workshop may cause multiple moments of mirth, foster greater comfort in new situations, inspire creativity, lift your mood, release stress, make you more spontaneous, ease you into connecting enjoyably with other people and even make you laugh out loud. Using improv games, we will become a fast thinking, in the moment, loose goose brigade. You’ve been warned. Here’s a little more about the content of the workshop from Henry: Although I’ll be using improv based exercises, they’ll be mostly warmup and group game activities. Not really improv scene or narrative building work. We will end with one or two short form improv performance type games, however. Focus will be on loosening up and having fun. If you are looking for serious improv study this won’t be it, but might be a good way to ease into it. That all said, the main objective is fun on a Saturday afternoon. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday! $5–10 suggested donation per session. No improv experience necessary. Intended for adults. Limit of 15 please, so sign up now: email hbquit@hotmail.com. about your host: I’m Henry Balzarini and a native of Boston. In the 1980’s I lived in New York City where I…
