Kevin McKernanStaff

hi, all! my name's kevin mckernan. i've been teaching improv for 20+ years at the improv shop (much more in the beginning years than lately) and within local high schools. i still love improv ofc and getting to know some of the newer folks. hey, my summer schedule opened up a bit, so i'm excitedly offering a "scenes + notes" elective workshop in this upcoming session wherein i hope to listen to whatever folks are working on and thinking about in their scenework, then watching scenes, and giving some feedback. i'm particularly into listening, patterns, organic exploration, following the fun, trying not to judge and overthink, raising stakes, authentic reactions, being confident, relying on each other, and realistic characters. thanks for potentially considering! hope to see some of yas soon.
