The Edge Effect Improv Lab begins again this Sunday, January 16th, at The Tank Theatre, 354 West 45th Street in NYC.
The Edge Effect brings us face-to-face with, and pushes us beyond, our current limits as artists. In this lab, we will compose an artist’s fugue by exploring the themes of gesture, repetition, the intuitive, interaction ritual, creativity, and transformation found in Viewpoints, Chekhov, Meisner, Spolin, Boyd, Forsberg, the Practical Aesthetic, and our own creative and playful natures. We will play with and build on these concepts by engaging with creativity theory in order to enhance, expand, and energize our practice and further develop our own voices as innovative artists.
Open to All!

What other players are saying:
Jeff Michalski: Take this, you've never experienced anything like it and there's a show at the end in a prime spot at The Tank
Lou Lasher: We just had our show for the last session of this lab this past Saturday. The show was like transcendentally good. It was like no improv show I've ever seen or been a part of, and it was right up there with or better than the 2 or 3 best improv shows I've ever done. It just further cemented in my mind just what a genius Meghan is, and how amazing improv can be. Amazing, revolutionary, transcendent. I mean, maybe .... I don't know, maybe bacon is better, but not much else.
Brigid Moynahan: Meghan Duffy has pure gold to offer actors and improvisers. She introduces contemporary and complex performance insights in just the right way by having us practice, practice, and practice again and sharing our joy and amusement when we make mistakes. Just an ideal teacher of what today's performers so badly need to learn, which is how to work with duration, shape, and space, with full body and heart.
