SHADOW WORK FOR IMPROVISERS Are you a comedy improviser? Do you want to stretch beyond your comfort zone and bring to life darker, edgier characters — the kind who are villainous yet still charismatic, funny, and lovable? If so, Shadow Work for Improvisers is for you. Through a series of exercises and play, we will explore the parts of you that are typically deemed ‘socially unacceptable’. The parts that we might typically hide. This is your invitation to take off some of these polite masks, and to play with some more shadowy aspects of human nature.All with the intention of feeling confident to create characters with a full range of human expression within our improv. Give yourself, your fellow players, and your audience the gift of complex, grounded ‘bad’ characters. Disclaimer: Whilst this space cannot be guaranteed to be trigger-free and fully ‘safe’ (owing to the nature of improv, and of the subject matter), the facilitator is experienced in trauma informed facilitation and shadow work.Our intention is to make it as safe as possible for you to explore and play in this territory.
