We evolved to laugh at the absurd, to laugh at ourselves and each other, to laugh to connect and break social tension. When we're trying to make good comedic improv, often what we're trying to do in our scenes is to make absurd things feel real and make real things feel absurd, sometimes while making people feel tense, hopefully resulting in laughter and connection. It is important to know how to ground your scenes to do that well. To make the absurd feel real, and make us laugh at what we know to be real and absurd. It's amazing the impact it can have and the laughs we can get when we go wild and stay grounded while we do it. That's what we'll be working on in this workshop.
