The Brisbane Improv Festival is excited to be hosting 22 Improvisation Workshops as part of the 2023 Festival with facilitators from all over Australia and New Zealand.

Please note this workshop is at the New Farm Community Hall and not Big Fork Theatre.

How do we Inspire Our Partner?
Facilitated by Katherine Weaver (Melbourne, Vic)

Audiences love playful inspired performers and improvisers love to play with people who inspire them.

In this workshop, we will work on playing hard, bringing the fun, and looking at how to light up your scene partner. How do you know if someone is inspired? How do we set them up for success? How do we bring out the best in them?

Together we will work on the answers to these questions which in turn will have us getting to know ourselves and how to find our own inspiration.
