Workshops!
Short Form with B.J Ellis
In this workshop, you'll run through some popular short form games and break them down to pick out what worked, what didn't, and explore other choices that may not be obvious. In improv there is no wrong answer, but there's more than one way to get from Point A to Point B. B.J. Ellis has been performing comedy since 1999. He's been with the N Crowd since 2005 and is currently the Executive Director of the group.
Harnessing Emotional with Karen Coleman
In this workshop, you will learn how to harness the power of emotion in all aspects of your scene work. Discover how tapping into your emotional center leads to stronger initiations, heightened relationships, and the ability to artfully accept “conflict” in scenes. Spoiler alert: everything is important. Karen Coleman is the N Crowd’s Artistic Director and has the heart of a Viking Warrior.
