With improv spreading around the world, it’s increasingly common for improvisers to find themselves performing in a second language. It’s also common for this language hurdle to initially scare people from performing altogether. Hellena was once like that; she’s Korean and spoke little English when she first started improvising. And yet, she now performs in front of international audiences, leaping above the language barrier to standing ovations! She even attends various English-conducted courses in North America, connecting with her classmates and coaches without being constrained by her vocabulary. How does she do this? Do you also find yourself intimidated to perform in a language that you’re not 100% proficient in? Come and deep dive with Hellena as she shares her secrets using fun exercises that can help scare the language jitters away! With some practice, you too can communicate purposefully on stage without relying heavily on The Spoken! and Do you feel bored during the scene? Do you feel it is going somewhere else? So you feel stuck in the scene? Get out of your head and just do it! Make a bold choice! and do the Action! not talk much! We don’t want to see two talking heads again and again. how to make a scene interesting without talking? We can make much more interesting scenes with less talking. Let’s find out how to make a bold choice and do Action!

Did your brain hurt a little bit when you read the title of this workshop? Sorry to add more shit to your brain, but the terms in this workshop title are actually a cheat code to finding a scene that can really take off as fast as possible. In our 2 hours together*, we'll improv nerd deep dive into classifying scene types in the first 30 seconds of the scene so that you can relax into the scene and just PLAY! (Your brain will 100% hurt by 10:15am just FYI)

Alex Park
Since high school, my passion for theater, improv, and music has been unwavering. During college, I even minored in music and took part in various musical plays such as Company, South Pacific, and Kiss Me Kate. Even while working as a banker, I made sure to keep practicing and performing with local theater groups. About a decade ago, I took a leap of faith and left the finance world to pursue my dreams in music and drama, with a particular focus on improv. I had the privilege of studying at renowned institutions like I.O. Chicago. Now, I'm dedicated to teaching others how to use improv to boost their confidence and leadership skills. Much of my time is spent at Funtastic Theater, a place I founded to help individuals explore their creative side. For me, it's all about bringing out the best in people and enjoying the journey together.
