Overview: This workshop is designed to help you strengthen your point of view skills and see that you can have perspective even when playing a toaster. Explore how inanimate objects can play a valuable role in your scenes. Enrich your play by learning how to interact with the world around you while building out your environment and sharpening your object work. Learn how easy it is to maintain a point of view when you create a strong character out of an inanimate object. Discover the joy and inspiration that can happen when inanimate objects are offered to the scene through scene painting and or simply by coming to life!

Liz Hutchman started her improv journey in short form in 1999, playing on the main stage for five years with the Jesterz before moving into long-form. Liz has been studying, performing and teaching ever since, first with the long standing musical troupe, The Remainders. It is there that she formed her first duo, Dutchman, who performed together for 10 years in both festivals and theaters around Phoenix and under the Torch Theater.

Liz has coached multiple teams in Phoenix and has taken her workshops across the country. Most recently Liz has been using improv techniques to help people who are learning to communicate better with autistic family members and medical students who are looking to improve their communication skills and bedside manner.

You can find Liz performing and teaching at her current “home”, Second Beat Improv Theater. Liz performs with the long standing ensemble, The Skewed News Hour, her trio, HOT MESS, and duo team, Birds & Broads.
