What you'll learn

"This workshop centers on the “inner judge” that sits on our shoulder and, while making a serious face, constantly tells us we aren’t smart, funny or original enough.

The purpose of this workshop is to help you learn how to handle your inner judge. Using highly practical tools, we will learn how to silence our inner judge when needed – and when it is important to pay attention to what they have to say.

This workshop will help you to get out of your head and be more free in your improv."
