Kultura is Tagalog for Culture. In this workshop, you won’t learn Tagalog (unless you want to), but you will be empowered to speak your own language and use your true cultural stories as inspiration for your characters and scenes. You will play on your own cultural stereotypes, and learn storytelling techniques to explore and celebrate sayings, superstitions, and traditions. These will then inspire authentic and hilarious characters and scenes in a long-form showcase.

Self-assessed prerequisites: This workshop is open to anyone who has completed at least a beginner level of improv and who has ever been asked, “Where are you from – no, where are you really from?”

Performance opportunities: All students are invited to participate in a live performance of the Kultura format later in the day at Theory Bar

Guest instructor notice: this workshop is taught by a visiting independent artist, not a usual member of The Improv Conspiracy Theatre's teaching staff. While we trust that it will be a fantastic experience for all involved, please note that we do not directly control their curriculums, classroom protocols, etc. Additionally, our standard policy on course deferrals for internal credit does not apply, as the instructor may only be in town for an extremely limited period of time – please consider all bookings to be final.

Capacity notice: this workshop is capped at 20 participants, as opposed to our usual 16.
