Theatresports!  BATS' original format and a veritable playground for improvisers to explore variety, take big risks, play together and get a peek at what creates a magical show for the audience.  Created by Keith Johnstone in order to get people as excited about theater as they are about sports, this format places a competitive structure on collaborative play in order to create a safe place for really exciting improv to happen.

In this workshop, you'll go past the basics of Theatresports into the nuances of what makes it work.  Explore shape of show, game choice, what happens in between scenes, as well as learning lots of games and types of scenes.

This workshop is perfect for those who are newer to performing and are looking to put their scene-building skills to work in a performance context.  The final class will be an open workshop Theatresports match in which students are invited to bring friends and family to come watch the product of their work.
