The Feminine Comique, with Cameron Esposito The world of standup comedy can be an isolating place for women and for this reason many women are deterred from standup early in their careers or before they have even begun. The Feminine Comique was created as a foundation course that strives to give prospective female performers the confidence and skills they need to begin a career in standup comedy, while offering the established comic a chance to rework her joke writing process.
You're Doing Enough: Simplifying Scenework for Improvisers, with Zabeth Russell Are your improv scenes getting bogged down with too much plot? Losing track of what you're doing and where you think should be going? Does it feel like work? It shouldn't. In this workshop, Zabeth Russell teaches you how to use the simple elements you've established in the first moments of a scene to create a fully satisfying, fleshed-out scene. You already have exactly what you need to get out of your head, get into the scene, and stop working so hard.
New Forms for a Better Show with Jane Morris $50, Limited to 20, 1-3 pm Mainstage Jane Morris has spent her entire career as an improviser developing new forms with her students.

The workshop will jam you through her fun new forms "Adjacent Space", which creates and instant community with it's own cast of characters, "Scene on Scene" a sort of 'time jump' on steroids, "Line of Sight" a whirlwind form for audience and players.
