WORKSHOP: Improvise Your Way to Better Storytelling
led by Kate Button

This workshop is suitable for all ages.
This will be an active, participatory workshop. We will play improv games and stretch our comfort zones. Join us for fun and laughter as we blend techniques from both art forms.
Hi, I'm Kate Button. I've been improvising for over 11 years now. I continue to study/practice because there is always more to learn. I have performed at HUGE Theater, Strike Theater, Phoenix Theater, as well as at various festivals. I have been doing storytelling for a couple of years now. I will bring the two art forms together to increase spontaneity and confidence in your storytelling skills. I told a story at last year's festival about my time working on the railroad. I hope to broaden the perspectives of all who join me.
