Joe Bill and Mark Sutton have performed improvisational works for the past 15 years and have developed their show, "BASSPROV," from their specific views on improvisation: making strong character choices, overcoming personal fears by charging them headfirst, and developing trust by providing your partner with a strong worldview. This philosophy carries over into the off-stage world, as strong choices in life and business reap better rewards than weaker ones.

Over the past five years, they have taught their style of improv to countless students, ranging from teenage actors to corporate managers. They have been asked to teach their perspective at improv festivals and private classes throughout the past year, and are available to in Salt Lake City from March 24-25, 2006.

Joe Bill - The Scramble (FREE)
The Scramble is a form that explores long form improvisation through the order in chaos. It employs a set of theatrical devices that are favored by Chicago Improv Heavy Weight Joe Bill, including but not limited to, living tableau opening with underscore, overlap scenes and edits, solo starts and bolts, swinging gates and chair pimps, and multi-dimensional madness...oh yes, and some very grounded scenework thrown in for good measure. This workshop is designed to be a 1 day training and rehearsal to facilitate a Utah Scramble cast performance on Friday night. This class is only open to students selected in Wednesday's JoKyR and Jesster workshop.

U of U PAB Room 101
MARK SUTTON - FINDING MORE
Get out of the rut. This workshop will help you find fun in the most mundane situations. It will show you ways to discover freedom in scenes that seem to go nowhere. You will look at all the relationships in the scene NOT just the one with your scene partner. You will learn ways to take chances and make connections that will enhance your characters, your scenes and your long-form.

Saturday, March 25
10:00am - 1:00pm
U of U PAB Room 204
JOE BILL - THE BAT
The Bat is a long form improvisation created by Joe Bill with 1990's super group, Georgia Pacific. It is The Scramble in the Dark. It is that from which the Scramble is born. It is performed in the dark. This workshop will work backwards to touch on Scramble techniques, and then quickly find students broken into groups and performing The Bat. All secrets will be revealed, all minds will be blown, and a new light will be shone on the value of verbal specificity.

MARK SUTTON - GET TO THE POINT
Have you ever created something great at the top of a scene and then lost it? Have you started with a wonderful character and then struggled to keep it wonderful during the scene? Have you found yourself "lost" as the scene progressed? Well...NO MORE!! This workshop will help you FOCUS. You'll learn how to better connect with your character, identify and heighten what you're about and see the scene through your own unique point of view. Stay stronger...longer, and make better scenes.
