B) Improv Workshop with Julie Dumais!
Saturday October 28 4-9 PM (Room will be posted at the Porters' Desk)
Long form and Intelligent Shortform: The Scene, the Group and the Game
Improv is the art of spontaneous theatre, and can take on many forms. Fundamental to all those forms is a solid scenework. In this workshop Julie will take the group through a series of exercises that will teach the fundamentals of good scenework and then how to further apply those skills to a broader longform format. All improv backgrounds are welcome.
Julie Dumais
A Toronto-based actor, improviser and producer, Julie has bene involved with improvisation for well over a decade. She recently wrapped a 3 year run as co-producer and performer at the weekly MOnday-night deathmatch cabaret: catch23IMPROV. Julie has performed as part of the Second City National Touring Copmany, at the Vancouver International Improv Festival, as a returning member of the Winnipeg Improv Festival ensemble and witht he always-changing cast of the soundtrack project: her pet longform project cinematically scored by acclaimed turntablist, DJ Hangman. She is also one half of 10,000 to Flight (an appealingly appalling improv outfit with creative partner Mark Andrada) and she works regularly with the Impatient Theatre Co. (as performer and a coach). When she is not whoring herself as a vocieover "artist" or thinking about her next meal, Julie runs the largest regional high school improv tournament in Canada and teaches nationally with the Canadian Improv Games... where she once won a national gold medal. A very long time ago.
Cost: 20 dollars for the workshop. There is no HHDS membership discount, as this is an Improv Intensive. Participants may also want to join the Improv Jams Improv Group, which performs and practices regularly and is hosting an Inter-University Festival in January!!
