Often in improv we find ourselves chasing the scene and wondering why we struggle to find the fun, humorous, or dramatic piece. It can be easy to get started on the wrong foot and fail to find our comfort zone and the top of a scene is the last place we want to just wing it. In this workshop, we will look at three prominent improv initiation styles that will help take the guesswork out of how you get started in a scene so you can get to the fun part with confidence.
