Improv is heading more and more towards comedy. Though this is a recipe for a very entertaining night (and we want our shows to be entertaining), we miss improv that can tell a story without the pressure of being funny and just for the sake of telling a good story. This workshop gives us techniques that help us focus on story, reality, and emotion.

In this workshop, we explore the skills required to be a good storyteller and how they help us become better improvisers.

Masar Theatre was born out of a need to use theatre to facilitate a social and political intervention in a community about which nothing was known – or even could be known. A combined skillset of improv, Theatre of the Oppressed, and Playback Theatre was put to the best of its use to come up with a format in which the theatre troupe is merely a facilitator of the audience members telling their stories, seeing them played, and experimenting with possibilities of change.
Duration: One to seven days (for the format)
Level: Any (some knowledge of improv, Forum Theatre, and Playback Theatre can definitely win us some time).
