Thoughts from BTC: in this workshop, from 2025 Comedian-in-Residence Inbal Lori, you’ll dig into one of the skills that set Inbal apart from even the most accomplished improvisers in the world: character work. Over two nights, you will dig into Inbal’s deep well of knowledge and find techniques that will empower your play no matter where you are in your improv journey.
On to Inbal’s description:
Have you ever wondered why most of us play “normal” or “neutral” characters most of the time? Do you have the urge to play characters which are bigger than life and /or are very different from you? Are you struggling with playing this kind of character in a believable way?
From my experience, when improvisers make the choice of playing an extreme character on stage, two main things happen:
a) they struggle between playing that character consistently and believably while keeping the scene going; or b) the scene will usually evolve around them and how “extreme” they are. This is why in this session I would like you to develop the ability to play those characters in a believable and focused way AND use these characters to tell beautiful stories in various contexts and situations.
Pre reqs: This class is open to anyone who has completed Intro 1 or at least 15 hours of improv training elsewhere.
Special note: in order to bring Inbal and Lee all the way from Berlin to Vancouver, we need your help! To make these classes happen, we need you to register by April 14th latest. If we have enough registration in their classes, we will confirm via email that the classes are running and get some fancy flights arranged.
We wouldn’t be making this pitch if it wasn’t worth it: these are some of the best improvisers working and it will be so cool to have them collaborating with us this June!
