Party: Even Thor & Loki Worked It Out (Improv Workshop)

Thor and Loki are best known in the Marvel Universe for always being against each other. Often times performers put themselves against each other in an effort to make the scene more interesting or simply to cause conflict. Alli and Kristin will take your though exercises and scene work to help you and your fellow performers work together instead of against each other. Knowledge of Marvel Cinematic Universe not necessary!

Prerequisite: Basic understanding of scene work, level 201 or above.
