Attendance is FREE but we ask that you volunteer for at least one evening of tech improv with Gnap! Theater Projects at an evening of your convenience.

Course Description: There are many similarities between improvising on stage and improvising in the tech booth. The main difference is the technology involved and learning the language of that technology, whether it be music, sound effects, lighting, or video. This course is aimed at students interested in learning how to support scene work through lighting and instrumental music offers. It is targeted to the intermediate and advanced improvisers interested in honing skills in listening, heightening, and improvising with music; as well as beginner improv students interested in performance improv, but who don't feel ready for the stage.

Credentials: Sara Farr is a strong advocate of the emotional power of improvised tech, and it's ability to boost the theatricality of improv shows. She has scored several runs of shows including: "Lola," "Cochise," "Ka-Baam," "Improvised Shakespeare," "Start Trekkin," "Harry Potter," "Six Degrees," as well as several short-form and one-off shows. Sara is also the cardinal sound improviser for "Get Up" and has performed with them at improv festivals in Seattle, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and San Francisco. This summer, Sara will be working with Parallelogramophonograph to create a new improv show scored entirely with Aaron Copland music.

Sara was the winner of the AIC's "2008 Best Tech Improviser" award.
