Nothing goes according to plans in life, and what way to ensure that than to announce them to the world and play in the mess! “The Boardroom” is a collaborative solution-building tool, created by Velvet Wells, for setting and recalibrating improvised character “plans” in-universe.
Especially helpful for working in genre-based narrative improvisation. Part of the HEIST Takes Improv series
Suitable for: Improvisors with experience creating and performing characters | Duration: 90 minutes | Participants: 20 performers each (in-person and virtual)
