Free Rein Improv Fest - The Search Engine

Workshop topic

Turn life’s smallest questions into scenes bursting with variety and joy.

What you’ll explore

The Search Engine is a scenic format where life’s less important questions are put to an improvised intelligence. Explore how a scene’s theme can quickly become entertainment.

Try different ways to create variety, find joy and move beyond scenes where people simply stand and talk. Discover what gives you the most fun in improv, and how to offer that to your scene partner.

Includes a showcase in the first show on Saturday.
