Aden & Eric Nepom


Real life couple Aden and Eric Nepom have been improvising for over 50 years between the two
of them. They have been playing together for roughly eight years, and have only been married
for six blissful years. Recognized for outstanding skills in theatre, speech, communication and
development, these two share a passion for committed character work, grounded platform
building and that moment where one realizes that anything can happen in improv! Individually
they’ve created programming, won awards and traveled the world as improv teachers, stage
performers and educators. Together, they’ve taught and performed on stages from as close as
20 minutes from their house, to as far away as Tel Aviv. Their festival appearances include the
Fertile Ground Festival in Portland, OR, the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin, TX, the
Alaska State Improv Festival in Juneau, AK, the Seattle Festival of Improvised Theatre in
Seattle, WA, New York Musical Improv Fest in NY, and Mount Olymprov Greek International
Improv Festival in Athens, Greece and many more.

    Stage combat is traditionally well rehearsed and choreographed, spending hours if not days on technique and action. In the world of improvised theatre, there are only split seconds and multiple minds working against that very essence of safety with combat. This workshop will take those techniques and create an overall language and skill foundation that can give you and your ensemble the ability to execute successful combat on stage while not executing each other. Starting with “hand to hand” style combat, we will focus on the theatricality and specificity of combat techniques in a fashion that can be repeated safely in the moment of an improvised scene. Depending on the location, tools available and skill of the participants; the advanced skills of sword/weapon based combat will also be covered. Required: Please wear clothing that allows for full and easy movement. (if you can crawl quickly in it, it will work)

    Initially, improvisation was primarily a tool an actor could use to be more spontaneous on stage and create solid art. As time has gone by, improv has become one of the most popular forms of theatre on and off the stage. With that shift, comes a greater number of people “performing” and “playing” on stage and forgetting the roots of theatre: acting. This workshop will bring the classic skills of the trained actor into the world of quick response theatre. Other than improv, the last scripted show you did was a middle school play? No problem. Take your performance up a notch with these professional theatre artists as they build the frame around your improvised toolkit, helping you create a show worthy of the Tony Awards.

    What happens when you take that one dimensional character, perhaps the one with the silly smiling face, and bring out more dimension? What do they look like when they are upset? Exuberantly happy? This workshop will use classic theatre and improvisational techniques and skills to go deeper into character development. Using mask work training to let the character tell us about them, we shall go even deeper to discover the bigger picture of the world around us and they way we, and they, interact with it. ***bringing a puppet to use for this is encouraged (we will have a handful of puppets available for those in need)
