Free Experimental Exercises Workshop

FREE. A workshop with an array of NEW exercises in development.

Things to know before you register:

Registering means we expect you. If you need to dropout or cancel, you will be expected to communicate that with the instructor. You can contact jon@hideouttheatre.com.

Please wear all black and form-fitting clothing. Black shirt, pants. Jeans and tights are great, just as long as it’s easy to move in. Off-blacks and charcoal are fine too, as long as it’s very dark. Any type of shoe is fine as long as it’s closed toe and black (or dark grey).

Please be on time

Please bring water

There will be a 15 minute break at the halfway point

The workshop will be highly physical and will involve a lot of contact with other people. If you are uncomfortable with this or physically injured, it is recommended that you do not sign up for this workshop.

A lot of these exercises may be weird or go poorly as they are experimental in nature. Come ready to fail!

Everything is volunteer-based so if a particular exercise doesn’t sound fun to you, no worries. That said, growth flourishes from risk!


Finally, please know that this will be a workshop in the truest sense of the word. We’ll be focusing on developing & experimenting with some improvised scene dynamics including:

Working with partially scripted interactions (you will not need to memorize anything beforehand), movement, repeating scenes with specific instructions, approaching scenework in unconventional ways, and more things that are harder to explain in one sentence.
