WORKSHOPS WITH JET

Playing Honest Improv Workshop- 12-2pm

Having a difficult time playing clever? Try playing real. Let go of feeling robotic on stage and speaking in unnatural tones. Instead of playing a fairly convincing human, be a human.  This workshop will focus on being truthful to your internal experience on stage. We will also explore ways of bringing more of yourself to the stage. With such work we can connect to the audiences’ humanity rather than just their intellect.

Physical Improv Workshop- 2:30-4:30

Many improvisers become stuck in their heads, talking through scenes and not truly reacting. This course will focus on techniques that allow thoughts to descend so the scene can become active. There will also be a concentration on igniting one’s imagination with real environments and object work.

NOMA Celebrates 100yrs (and TNM helps!)

It was crazy fun, too!  This month NOMA has asked us to be a part of the programming for their 100th birthday party!  We will be giving tours at 6:00p and 10:00p Friday, December 16th. Clicky clicky to see the full schedule of events.

This event is FREE and open to the public.

TNM, your docent @ New Orleans Museum of Art

We are full to the gills and well rested and ready to emerge from our Thanksgiving caves and DO SOMETHING, right?

Like, spend an evening at the lovely NOMA!  Tonight TNM NOLA invades New Orleans Museum of Art to launch the first of our new monthly series of art/comedy tours.  We will host two twenty-minute tours at 6:00p and 8:00p acting as docents leading groups with TNM comedians.  $10.  Drinks and music are totally happening.

ThanksDay

Christie Grace — i am thankful for the laughter, infinite yeses and ready-to-play-ness of my lovely friends.  it is such a great and wonderful thing to bring joy to one another.  how lucky that we get to do this together.  :)

 

Tom Thibodeau — @ImprovWins I iz happier ‘cuz of it

 

Kate Adair– Being a part of TNM creates the same opposite-of-lonely, there’s-flickering-hope feeling I have watching X-Men movies. So though the list of things I am thankful for about TNM is longer than I can list, I am particularly thankful to be surrounded by the sexy, uncanny talent of kind and intelligent people who not only know how to play hard, but how to play great.

 

Clifton Hall — @ImprovWins thankful for improv because of the friends I’ve made and amazing people I’ve met because of it. Also makes me feel good about me

 

Mike Spara –I’m thankful that TNM has provided a space for artists to come together and celebrate their craft and each other in equal measure.  It has given us a community of support to pursue individual endeavors, collaborate on larger goals, and welcome others into a badass, beautiful, intelligent, loving creation.  It is a platform, the best of incentives and excuses, for us to love what we do and one another.  I love you all for being a part of this.  You are eternity and the mirror.

It’s Workshop + Tour time…some more!

Shyla (TNM Houston) and Tami are officially launching their Shyla & Tami Are Your New Husband Tour TONIGHT in Houston!

We’ll be coming through New Orleans for a workshop (see description below!) then off to Atlanta’s Basement Theater & Charleston’s Improv-a-Thon at Theatre 99 this weekend.  Want to tell your friends in Atlanta or Charleston to come see us? Tell them to come and freak us out with some strange information that they shouldn’t know so that we can spend our long car rides trying to solve mysteries!

WORKSHOP in NOLA:
We all had so much fun in the last Date Workshop that we were all like “This should be it’s own show, right?”.  So, we’d like to run this workshop again not only to help folks work on their character and dynamic work, but also to start farming for a cast of The Date Show. Wanna be involved?!

Let’s Go On A Date w/ Tami Nelson Workshop -Thursday, Nov. 17th 7-9p @ The New Orleans Healing Center #250
We take the frame of Date Night and work on how to heighten character, dynamic, premise and elasticize our scenes to the max.

Workshop is $10, email nelson DOT tami AT gmail to save your spot.
