This innovative workshop delves into a unique perspective that categorizes improvisers into three distinct archetypes: pirates, robots, or ninjas. While this theory sparks debate in the improv community, Taylor is a staunch believer and thinks it offers valuable insights into understanding your natural style and strengthening your performance. Learn how to embrace your inherent archetype while developing strategies to enhance areas where you might not be as strong. Drawing from extensive experience with this approach, your instructor Taylor, will guide you through understanding and applying these concepts to elevate your improv game.
