I'm teaching Intro to Neo-Futurism /
This fall, I’m excited to teach a seven-week course, Intro to Neo-Futurism and Non-illusory Theater, as a collaboration between the SF Neo-Futurists and Endgames Improv. We’ll use movement, storytelling, and task-based exercises to write, direct, and perform own two-minute plays, written from your lives and direct experiences. We'll close the class with a showcase of student work in the Neo-Futurist aesthetic. Full details and sign-up at endgamesimprov.com/classes

"When the San Francisco Neo-Futurists perform 'Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind' at 10:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, it won’t just be the show’s final performance of 2016.
