Learn to use improvisational technique as a tool for writing.
Improvisation puts you directly into the action and heart of the moment. Allow your creative genius to ‘script’ on the spot, in a judgement-free zone. Surprise yourself! You will learn to use Improvisational technique as a tool for writing. Prompts will be given to spark memories, characters, and places, turning them into poems, scenes and stories. During ‘UnClogging’ you will likely come up with an ‘idea’ that you feel compelled to expand on, or perhaps be re-inspired to continue an unfinished work later. Find new perspective and confidence!
