Guest Workshop: Improv Without Ideas

9 out of 10 improvisers think too much on stage. We’d argue that the best scenes are often those in which we hardly think at all.

In this positive, high-energy workshop, we’ll show you how to put your brain away, exist in the moment you’re creating, stop worrying about “taking care of the scene,” and embrace the virtues of going from A to A. No prior experience required.

  • Date & Time: Sat, December 7th 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM CST
  • Location: The Little Improv Theatre - Home of ComedySportz San Antonio
  • Price: $20
  • Facilitators: Kelly Buttermore and Justin Peters

About the Instructors

Kelly Buttermore and Justin Peters are two of America’s top independent improvisers. Veterans of the New York improv scene, for the past decade they have spent much of each year on tour, performing and teaching as their duo FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY at theaters and festivals across the country and around the world. Their signature form is the Walter, a minimalistic monoscene that emphasizes silence, eye contact, and total commitment to the moment. Off stage, they promote a DIY ethos that encourages improvisers to find their own voices and own their own work. Based in New York City, they also spend a lot of time in Florida, where they produce the annual Countdown Improv Festival and are partners in The Commodore, a new comedy theater in Tampa. They probably have shirts for sale in the lobby.
