The Dissection [April 25]
Watch comedy, take it apart!
DAY: Saturday, April 25th
TIME: 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Sometimes you just want to know WHY something works, and that's what this series is all about!
Join us to watch an improv scene/show, then (with the aid of our very own Director of Education, Sam Kurnit) go over all the moves and discuss what worked, what didn't, and most importantly, why!
For this edition of The Dissection, we'll be watching: From Ally to Zacky - Getting a Tattoo on Friday the 13th https://youtu.be/bB1ESv06hkI?si=YAaILOPYiJ7OrmiM
(you do not need to watch it in advance as we'll be watching it as part of the discussion)
So step into the observation room and join us for The Dissection!
