2026 Theater Workshop with Richard Kuhlman
Pat Your Head & Rub Your Tummy: Theater Improv for All
During our week together, we will create structured games and scenes enjoyable for all involved. My instruction is to play to each individual’s strengths, to have fun and to jump in. The games creatively open up the artist’s soul and return that artist back towards simple maxim to “Play”. Near the end of the week, we will present a fun showcase of Improv Games and Scene work, goosed along by some audience suggestions.
Richard Kuhlman has taught Theatre Games/Improvisation Workshops all over the country. He is a 1st generation instructor/performer having worked with the founders of American Improv: Viola Spolin and her son, director Paul Sills. He has performed and taught at Second City, both in Chicago and Hollywood. He taught Improvisation, Comedy Sketch Writing, Acting and Stage Direction at Columbia College Hollywood film school for over a decade. He has taught extensively in Seattle, Washington, Greensboro, North Carolina and Salinas, California. He is very excited to be coming to teach at Star Arts.
What to bring or wear:
