We spend too much time on scenes about Man vs. Man. What other conflicts are there? A scene can be about a character battling a wild storm, challenging societal norms, or facing their inner demons. All these different conflicts offer a rich playground that allows you to push beyond the usual bickering and create scenes filled with deeper, more meaningful struggles. This workshop will encourage you to step into fresh, exciting scenarios that go beyond the usual human-on-human drama.

Jill Bernard (she/her) has been performing with ComedySportz-Twin Cities since 1993, and was a founding member of HUGE Theater in Minneapolis.

This workshop presents Jill Bernard's Fireball Theory and offers exercises to help you improvise faster and harder than you can judge yourself. You will learn to metaphorically hit the scene running and outrun the explosion of self-loathing and doubt like an action movie hero outruns a fireball thus defying the laws of physics.
