How to "Yes, and..." by saying "No!"

“Yes, and…” is a core concept every improviser learns early. Accept the gifts from your scene partners and then build the scene by adding on to what they have started. But too often scenes flounder in agreement with characters unable to disagree. With nowhere to go, these scenes can be difficult to sustain as they circle around and around. Finding long-lasting comedic threads can be as easy as calling them out in character. This workshop introduces the basics of Logical/Absurd scenes. You’ll see how adding contrasting viewpoints will enhance the game of your scenes.
