Not every scene partner makes it easy to “yes, and.” Some block, bulldoze, or just don’t know what they’re doing—and that’s where this workshop comes in. In this session, you’ll learn how to stay grounded, adaptable, and collaborative no matter who you’re playing with. Through focused exercises and scene work, you’ll build the skills to handle denial, confusion, and strong personalities while still creating fun, connected scenes. And it’s not just about difficult partners—these tools are just as valuable when you’re the one feeling stuck. Whether you’re lost in a long-form scene, second-guessing your choices, or struggling to find your footing, these techniques will help you reconnect, make confident moves, and keep the scene alive. Because great improvisers doesn't need perfect partners
