A class for those of any level who would like to explore deepening their work.

In The Art of Noticing Tracy provides tools and techniques to gently hone your powers of observation so you can relax, be present and make the most of every moment. Your scenes will become effortless, playful and hilariously surprising. Participants have the opportunity to:

• Let go of the “rules” of improv
• Replace Invention with Discovery
• Be an investigator of a scene rather than the architect
• Keep a scene alive until its conclusion
• Play with commitment and freedom!
