Workshop: Gamebreaker

Unlock your personal cheat codes

VIRTUAL – March 20 Vintage Improv Festival

Have you seen performers shine at certain improvisational and theatre games and wished you could be a gamebreaker too?

In this two-hour workshop, Velvet Wells will facilitate the introduction, discussion, and unlocking of playful variations to some of their favorite games. We’ll play competitive games collaboratively and vice versa, and then play games concurrently, to unlock our personal cheat codes, our strengths as players, and where we need our partners to make the saving play

By the end of the session, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify different roles within the games
  • Introduce the game premise and rules to an audience
  • Follow the fun within the game (even those played-out games, yes!)
  • Brainstorm rule variations to reinvigorate the game sets in your shows

Suitable for: all levels, new and seasoned improvisers | Duration: 120 minutes | Capacity: 4 (minimum) 20 (maximum)

“Such a great way to enjoy the ‘fail’, such a hard thing to get sometimes.”

“Velvet is a fantastic talented and patient instructor who makes you feel safe to step outside of your comfort zone”

“You helped me to metabolize the “lesson” from improv games and the tool of incorporation into my scene play”
