DESCRIPTION

Improv College is delighted to welcome Katy Schutte, visiting from the UK, to teach in-person workshops here in Montreal.

Take a look at the timeline of your show and learn smart ways of making it clear if you're flashing back or forward. Mess around with Back to the Future scenarios; how different would this character/moment be if something had been different in their past?

Use the classic linear narrative, hold it upside down, give it a shake, and see what falls out of its pockets. Dig into playing with the fabric of time itself! (from the safety of this improv class)

BULLET POINTS:

• Add new time tools to your storytelling toolbox
• Find new hooks to grab the audience's attention
• Show new dimensions of your characters through flashbacks and flash-forwards
