Finding the Game - Improv Workshop with Baby Wants Candy

Note: this is a non-musical workshop

***

Prerequisite: For folks with at least 1-2 years of improv experience

The "game of the scene" can feel mysterious at first, but once you learn to spot it, it becomes an amazing tool for building strong, surprising, and hilariously fun scenes! This is about that surprising or unusual element that makes a scene really pop, and how to explore or heighten it with your scene partner.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to identify that unusual pattern, play with it and make your scenes sharper and more satisfying.

Baby Wants Candy is famous for creating dynamic, character-rich scenes with strong "games". With over 4000+ show performed (including 2 shows a day during the 4 weeks of each Edinburgh Fringe Festival), and thousands of students over the years, they have honed their musical and non-musical improv skills and courses, and for sure will have great tools to share!

Come sharpen your skills, get more out of your scenes, and have a blast in the process!

BIO

Adrien Pellerin is an NYC-based actor, improviser, producer, pianist and musical director. He has served as musical director for Baby Wants Candy and Shamilton all over the world for many years, including for BWC's scripted hit show Thrones! as well as our runs at Adelaide Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, the Kennedy Center and in New York City at UCB, BCC and Caveat. His work has appeared on Comedy Central, Adult Swim and Funny or Die. He performs sketch comedy and musical improv regularly in New York City and at festivals around the world. Adrien returns for his third trip in Geneva, and will be at the Edinburgh Fringe prior to arriving.

Baby Wants Candy is one of the most popular and celebrated comedy ensembles in the world. Currently, BWC has open runs in Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago, as well as an international touring company with over 4000 improvised musicals and counting! BWC has performed and led workshops for thousands in the US, Asia, Europe and Australia, our scripted shows have been translated into 11 languages (including French and German!), and have enjoyed 9 fully sold out Edinburgh Fringe runs. Both BWC and their spinoff show Shamilton sold out in previous years and will be returning again this year. Our style combines what we consider are the best parts of UCB and iO, both institutions at which we performed and taught for years.
