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!
