IRC Podcast 2010-02-23 Matt Donnelly

This week my guest, Matt Donnelly, shares a couple exercises that he uses in his workshops. The first he calls History, Philosophy, Metaphor and it's a way to deepen the beginning of scenes by asking students to take an underdeveloped detail of a scene and elaborate using one of three techniques. Next we talk about Bull, Matador a method of creating and playing games which asks which character is vulnerable and then puts the players in either the role of a bull or a matador.
Matt, currently lives in Las Vegas where he teaches with Improv Vegas. When he is in NYC, he teaches workshops at the The PIT.
