STAGE FRICTION - with Lee White
FIVE HOURS. $125.
Saturday, June 28
11:00AM - 4:00PM PST
Location: Carousel Theatre Studio
Thoughts from BTC: in this workshop, 2025 Comedian-in-Residence Lee White highlights a very underrated approach to improv: keeping it quiet. Lee is very, very good with words but has also been known to do beautiful, hilarious scenes without anything – something we could all aspire to. Heck, even train towards.
On to Lee’s description:
Students are taught to avoid conflict but there is a way to use it to your advantage in stories and character building. Every story needs some conflict, right?
This workshop is focused on characters with conflict, how to play conflict with your scene partners and how to use conflict in character building. Students learn how to start scenes with conflict and how to avoid the tiresome arguments conflict often brings. Don’t avoid conflict – make conflict a skill to use!
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!
