Workshop - Billy Merritt: The Documentary

The improvised Documentary

The workshop will focus on the Improvised Longform know as the Documentary.

This form splits the difference between representational and presentational theatre.

As seen in The Office, Parks and Rec, and What We Do in the Shadows.

We will practice scenic and environmental testimonials, interviews, the use of documentarians, narrations, and grounded scenework.
