Introductory Improv with Chase Padgett
Export to CalendarEvent Description:
Introductory Improv - Perfect for beginners! Ever wondered how those guys from “Whose Line” can make up a show right on the spot with seemingly very little? This workshop illuminates the basic concepts of improv.
Join us for this fun and engaging workshop to learn the basics of improv such as: Yes And, the art of accepting and building on another’s idea, Storytelling that keeps an audience engaged while still laughing, and tricks to avoid the common mistake we all make when starting out, like the dreaded ‘Transaction Scene.’ No prior theater or improv experience required.
Instructor Chase Padgett has been a musician, actor, writer, and improviser for nearly 15 years. He studied music at the University of Central Florida while learning improv at the SAK Comedy Lab. After graduating in 2007 with a BA in Music he became a full ensemble member at SAK in addition to working for Disney and Universal in various comedic actor roles. After producing a sketch comedy troupe in 2008 and 2009 he premiered his first solo show ‘6 Guitars’ in 2010. It was met with rave reviews, sold out crowds, and multiple awards. Not long after that he found great success touring this show and across North America in performing arts centers and theater festivals. In 2013 he premiered his other solo theatre show, ‘Nashville Hurricane’ which has also received glowing feedback for its top notch writing and furious finger picking.
