Acting For Improv- From Games to Stage!

You've taken the classes, attended the jams and found your team, now you're ready to take the stage and... perform? Acting for Improv is a performance based workshop that will give you the tools to perform infront of a live audience with presence, poise and precision. From projection and annunciation, to audience interaction, stage pictures, using space and pulling focus, Patrice will guide you towards an Oscar worthy performance worthy of festivals, open stages, longform shows and more!

Workshop Leader Patrice Forbes

Patrice has been producing, directing and performing in Ottawa for many, many years and loves sharing tips, tools and experience with their community. This workshop is important to all levels of improvisors because we all come from different background and training styles, focusing that onstage with the added benefit of theatre training only enhances our skills. Learning elements of scripted theatre performance will put Ottawa Improvisors at a distinct advantage. As we grow and move beyond the city, into bigger venues and festivals, we want to showcase to our audiences that we know our way around a stage, and are committed to bringing them A+ quality performances.
