Every month Deep End holds a special focus workshop. These workshops are facilitated by our Artistic Director Domeka Parker. With over 30 years of experience performing improvisational theater and 12 plus years teaching it, Domeka is not only an expert in the craft she is also an exceptionally intuitive and effective teacher. The gift of these focused workshops is immense. Especially for those who cannot commit to a 6 week course or are currently performing at a high level on a regular basis. Having a chance to dig in hard to a very specific skill with a very experienced teacher is simply invaluable. Please keep your eyes peeled for the workshop that speaks to you and register quick before those spots are grabbed up!

Why Do We Care?With Nick Condon
Every character needs some motivation, point of view, or something to fight for. It can be almost anything, but you need an objective. That clash of characters' motives is what drives the scene. Explore how playing with emotional investment, commitment, and heightening, can help you make strong choices you can hold onto while supporting your scene partner in scenes that are as fun to play as they are to watch!
Nick Condon has been performing, teaching, directing and coaching for over two decades and has performed in nearly every state. A Minneapolis native, he studied and performed at The Brave New Workshop,Stages Theatre Co,Outward Spiral, and The National Theatre for Children. In 2006 he moved to Alaska where he served as Creative Director of Denali Drama and Iditaprov. In 2016 he moved to Portland to work with Curious Comedy and Oregon Children’s Theatre where he currently serves as education programs manager. He is also the founder and creative director of Conscious Comedy: Socially relevant comedy for a cause.
