The Art of Scene Work: Improv Intensive

Presented by Scott Palmason Workshops

📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026

📍 Maple Valley Creative Arts Council

💵 Workshop Fee: Only $10!

🎭 Limited to 16 participants

Ready to take your improv to the next level?

Join Scott Palmason for The Art of Scene Work, a one-day intensive designed to help improvisers create scenes that feel more authentic, engaging, emotionally grounded—and memorable.

Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Del Close, Keith Johnstone, and Second City, participants will move beyond simply creating a scene and explore the human connections that make great improv come alive.

Throughout the day, you'll work on:

• Establishing authentic relationships from the top of a scene
• Emotional point of view and strong character choices
• Status and how it shapes interactions
• Physicality, body language and non-verbal communication
• Creating grounded, honest and playable scenes
• Active listening and responding truthfully in the moment

• 11:30 AM–2:00 PM
• Session 1: Relationships, Status & Emotional Point of View
• 2:00–2:30 PM
• Lunch Break

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This intensive is designed for improvisers who have completed a Level One Intensive or have equivalent improv experience.

The goal is to deepen your understanding of what makes an improvised scene engaging and memorable from the very beginning. By focusing on relationships, emotional truth, physical presence and active listening, you'll strengthen your ability to create authentic connections and scenes that resonate with performers and audiences alike.

🐉✨ Myth Makers: Creating Legends Through Improv!

What magical creature lives beneath the lake? Why do the stars shine at night? How did the mountains come to be?

In Myth Makers, young performers become the creators of their very own myths, magical worlds, heroes, creatures, and epic adventures—all through the fun of improv!

Inspired by mythology, folklore, and storytelling traditions from around the world, this imaginative workshop uses theatre games, movement, character creation, and collaborative storytelling to introduce kids to the basics of improv and theatrical storytelling.

Along the way, participants will build confidence, practice teamwork and listening skills, stretch their imaginations, and discover just how much fun it can be to create a story together.

And at the end of the workshop, families and friends are invited to see what they created during a FREE informal performance at 2:30 PM!
