'All the paints in the box' with Jim Fishwick

About the workshop
Despite our best intentions, we sometimes find ourselves playing the same scenes, same characters, same games over and over again.

All the Paints in the Paintbox is a joyful approach to reignite curiosity, helping us shake off our creative cobwebs, identify the habits that have turned into patterns, and push out to the furthermost edges of what’s possible in improvisation.
