Signature Narrative Intensive (3-day workshop)
Join Kaci Beeler, Kareem Badr, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward all the way from Austin, Texas and NYC, USA, for a 3-day improv intensive you don’t want to miss. Intuitive narrative improvisation (long-form improv that tells an entire story) is the bread-and-butter of the award-winning work Parallelogramophonograph does.
After 20+ years and 1,250+ shows across 70+ cities, PGraph has developed a unique brand of improvisational theatre using intuitive storytelling, complex relationships, bold characters, and a highly connected group mind. The result? Improvised plays with no set format that feel effortless, inspiring, and tailored to every audience, every room, anywhere in the world.
In this intensive, you’ll learn PGraph’s favorite exercises, methods, theories, and tricks for creating dynamic, fully improvised plays on the spot. You get to learn from each of the members of Pgraph, each giving you their unique approach to their group expertise!

About PGraph
Parallelogramophonograph (Kareem Badr, Kaci Beeler, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward) has been performing together for 20+ years and 1500 shows (and counting!). Fiercely dedicated to the craft and art of improvised theatre, PGraph has held a weekly show in Austin since 2006. Intrigued by the challenge of telling fantastic, fully-improvised stories together as an ensemble, PGraph spent years developing original formats and studying scripted theatre, improv, and storytelling. They've toured the country and the world performing and teaching their unique brand of improv with ensemble appearances in 70+ cities in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK.
Renowned for their theatricality, playfulness, and hive-mind-like ensemble, their goal with every show is to push both themselves and the art of improvisation to new and dizzying heights while taking the audience along for a joyous ride.
PGraph performs weekly at The Hideout Theatre in Austin, Texas. Their book on narrative improv, "Do It Now", is for sale on their website (http://www.pgraph.com) as well as digitally on Amazon.
