"I'm not funny. What I am is brave."- Lucille Ball
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop is designed to continue exploring stage combat and clown techinques as tools for the clown/improviser who wants a fight performance of the moment, executed with safe, reliable, structured technique the performer can depend on, so as not to maim or die or scare the audience for real! Clown Combat Too! continues basic timing and rhythmic elements inherent to physical comedy and clown using high energy games, improvisation, and simple unarmed stage combat techniques.
Clown is an invaluable art form that gives special credence to live performance, to human nature, to laughter. Clown Combat Too endeavors to bring these ideas to performers in a safe, fun, and respectful environment which, with a little bravery on their part, allows for the performer's clown to come out and play with reckless abandon.
Open to performers with previous basic stage combat/clown/improv training.
Class requirements: comfortable workout clothing/shoes
Max: 16 people

Scenes That Work! Scotty's Scene Builder Workshop
Saturday, February 15, 2020 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Theatre Row Studios
411 West 41st Street, Studio 3
New York, NY 10036
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Scene work is the backbone of improvisational theatre. It is the medium through which we explore the larger narrative. But in improvisation, “in the moment,” we’ll often sabotage ourselves and create unnecessary challenges to overcome.
Remember back to that last scene you were in that crashed and burned. I guarantee that the mistakes were made in the first 30-seconds. Scotty teaches how to initiate scenes that work so you can tell your story your way.
We’ll work on…
Smart initiation
Getting to the point
Keeping your inventory small, specific and important

Give & Take: Building Ensemble and Awareness

Studios 353 353 W 48th street, Studio B
New York, NY 10036
"Individual freedom (expressing self) while respecting community responsibility is our goal." - Viola Spolin
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Viola Spolin’s theater games have helped countless theater companies to build ensemble and develop awareness between players, tools essential to performing or devising material with a group. In this three-hour master class with sidecoach Aretha Sills, we’ll focus on games and exercises that help players learn the art of give and take. Through a series of warm-ups and scene games, we’ll explore ways to bring players of different energy and experience levels into harmony, heighten full-body awareness of self and others, and develop sensory tools to seamlessly improvise with a group, respecting both the needs of the ensemble and the individual.
No experience necessary to play. We'll do some exercises that require physical activity and we will be up on our feet quite a bit. Players are always welcome to participate in a way that works for their physical ability, however.
Sidecoach ARETHA SILLS is the granddaughter of Viola Spolin. She studied theater games for many years with her father, director Paul Sills (creator/director of The Second City and Story Theater), and has conducted workshops for Paul Sills’ Wisconsin Theater Game Center, Bard College, Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Stockholm International School, Sarah Lawrence College, and Northwestern University. She has worked with Tony- and Emmy-Award winning actors and has trained faculty from Northwestern, DePaul, Columbia College, The Second City, The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, LAUSD, CETA, and many other institutions and schools. She is the Associate Director of Sills/Spolin Theater Works and she directs The Predicament Players.

Exploring "the Where" in Improvisation With
Aretha Sills
Tuesday, April 24, 2018, 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Theatre Row Studios
411 West 41st Street, Studio 2
New York, NY 10036
Exploring "the Where" in Improvisation to Create Connections Between Players
“Space objects are projections of the unknown, the invisible self, into the visible world.” - Viola Spolin
"The object becomes the metaphor for the relationship and the scene.” - Paul Sills
“The longer you look at an object, the more of the world you see in it.” - Flannery O’Connor
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Taking time to build a “Where" and enter into it as a group helps players into the present moment and into true relation. We’ll discover the riches the environment has to offer as we slow down and explore it. Through a combination of warm-ups and scene games, players will work with space objects to create onstage environments and allow intuitive connections to emerge.
Viola Spolin’s Theater Games launched the American improvisational theater movement and changed the way acting is taught. Her work has influenced generations of actors and educators. In the workshop, we'll explore the groundbreaking exercises and theatrical concepts found in her seminal book, Improvisation for the Theater, with an emphasis on the philosophies of legendary improvisation innovators Viola Spolin and Paul Sills.
This workshop is for players with some Spolin experience or some theatrical experience who are open to exploring new methods.
ARETHA SILLS is the granddaughter of Viola Spolin. She studied theater games for many years with her father, director Paul Sills (creator/director of The Second City and Story Theater), and has conducted workshops for Paul Sills' Wisconsin Theater Game Center, Bard College, Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Art of Acting Studio, Stockholm International School, Sarah Lawrence College, and Northwestern University. Aretha was the keynote speaker at the California Educational Theatre Association conference. She is the Associate Director of Sills/Spolin Theater Works and she directs The Predicament Players. ViolaSpolin.org.
Quotes about the workshop:
"Aretha is dedicated to preserving the pureness of this technique, which from my point of view assists the actor to find the courage to find themself and then to fly. I believe she has, innately and amazingly, all the elements of the technique of both Viola Spolin and Viola's son, the extraordinary director, Paul Sills. I have studied with Aretha, and believe me, the thrill lives on." -Paul Sand, Tony-award winner for Paul Sills' Story Theater; original Second City cast member
"Aretha Sills, carrying on the work of Spolin and Sills, is an amazing, insightful side-coach and teacher. We were fortunate enough to take a workshop in L.A. with her and it helped us reconnect with theater game work on a deeper level. She knows her stuff. Can't wait to work with her again!" -Deb Lacusta & Dan Castellaneta, The Simpsons, writers/ actor
“As an educator and instructor of acting and directing, I was eager to learn about the American theater improvisation developed by Viola Spolin and expounded by Paul Sills. Aretha Sills provides an insight into the authentic roots of the system that has been utilized for years by theatre training programs. The workshop will provide you with an excellent opportunity to explore various games and exercises to enrich your view of performance and acting.” -Norma Saldivar, professor and chair, UNLV Department of Theatre, and executive director of the Nevada Conservatory Theatre

"Aretha is one of the century's best improvisation teachers. Like her grandmother before her, she understands people, theater, and improvisation in an intuitive and deep way. As someone who has studied with some of the top teachers in the country and has performed for over 15 years, I can honestly say Aretha's work opened my eyes. I understood improv on a deeper level. I was refreshed and returned to beginner’s mind." -David Alger, founder Pan Theater

Although improvisers know that physicality is important, there is often little time to work individually on expanding physical range. This class will offer exercises to open and coordinate the mind and body as well as techniques that will help performers commit to heightened ways of moving. Performers will receive individual feedback and specific techniques for harnessing their physical potential. All levels are welcome! Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to go barefoot.

For example, at past IRTE shows you may have seen us use red streamers for blood, blonde wigs as puppet rats, a blue plastic sheet to simulate a swimming pool. We're looking to get on our feet and discover new ways to think about the physical objects we have on hand and create new and interesting stage pictures.

From the Page to the Stage with Marc Adam Smith
Sunday, March 20, 2016, 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Theatre Row Studios
411 West 41st Street, Studio 3
New York, NY 10036
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Improv is where you are tasked to create big characters on the spot. Sometimes they can be forgettable, but other times, you come up with something wonderful that deserves a chance to not only be seen again, but to be worked on and written for.
In our workshop, we will improvise and create characters and then work on them in monologue and scene form. If we are lucky, you will walk out with some new people you can use in future scripted shows, and if they come back to you organically in an improv show, that’s a wonderful plus.
See a past workshop that interests you? Most of these classes are available by request. Drop us a line and we'd be happy to set something up.

Big Characters with Real Depth with Scotty Watson
Saturday, February 27, 2016, 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Theatre Row Studios
411 West 41st Street, Studio 3
New York, NY 10036
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever been called-out for overacting when you were playing a "big" character, only to see an even bigger real-life character on the subway? So if THAT person exists in reality, why do they call bullshit when I do it on-stage?
Depth.
Characters that come organically from your body, supported by the breath, can be big and real at the same time. Similar to what we know about improv, we get in trouble when we bring our ideas to the character, rather than trusting our own bodies and being surprised by what comes out.
Dress comfortably like you would for a work-out. Make sure you can move and are covered. I suggest layers. You want be able to bend over comfortably or roll around on the floor.
Please, no jewelry, hats, clothing with logos or items that dictate status or style. Please wear sensible footwear.
SCOTTY WATSON
Teacher, Director & Coach of Improvised Theatre.
Currently on television Scotty is appearing in a series of commercials for The Provident Loan Society of New York.
