The Workshop
Do your scenes have great offers but feel like they aren’t living up to their potential? Are your shows full of fun characters who get discarded after one scene? Do you suspect your scene partners might be playing a different game of the scene from you? Try heightening! In this workshop you will practice taking your scenes to new heights. You’ll learn different ways to “raise the stakes”, how to keep a good thing going, and how to get your audience to follow stay with you when things get weird.
The Instructor
Jonas (he/him/they) got his start improvising as a player in the Canadian Improv Games 17 years ago, going on to volunteer for the games as a workshop leader, referee, and judge. Jonas has collected some expensive papers called degrees, including an Honours Bachelor’s in Dramatic Arts with a concentration in Theatre Praxis, a Bachelor’s of Education with Drama, English, and Social Sciences, and a Master’s in Theatre Theory and Dramaturgy for which his thesis, Can I Get a Volunteer: Contemporary Improvised Theatre and the Audience, focused on current examples of improv and audience participation. Jonas has performed on stages around Ottawa, Toronto, and Niagara, often in groups focused on narrative or genre-based improv including KO Improv, Outtake Improv, and currently Tangent Quest.

Heather Eyman is a fitness coach and improviser among many other things and in this episode, we see the path Heather took to narrow down on what’s important when there isn’t enough time to do everything and when you’re the kind of person who enjoys the abundance of what life has to offer.
We also ask her advice on how to fix Nick’s darn back! Find out what kind of tips she offers Nick, and all of us when it comes to making deposits into your body bank. (That’ll make more sense when you listen!)

Our first episode in over four months! Why the break? Well you’ll just have to listen to the episode and find out. HA! Masters of the tease.
But really, it’s a doozy of an episode where Brie & Nick dig deep into some real talk about physical and mental health, motivation, relocation and the whole thing gets a little vulnerable.
It’s not all struggle though. There’s life. There’s travel. There’s a mandatory Maron reference!
Take a listen & let us know if it resonates with your journey.

All wordplay aside, this is a delightful and informative episode featuring Genevieve (Evie) Jones, playwright, actor, director and mom of Daphne. Evie’s located in the Niagara Region, and chats with Nick and Brie about starting out her artistic career in Niagara, spreading her wings beyond the peninsula and her parents, and the reason for her epic return.
Evie provides us with some deep insight into how the pandemic has been helpful to herself and many artists in finding focus, and the now existing struggle to maintain that focus as the world opens back up.
Writers will appreciate learning more about the process of writing and producing live plays in Canada and the evolution of the artist in motherhood.
