Imagine your very own solo show! What would it be like? How would you stage it? What would it be about? Do you already have an idea or are you looking for one?
In this 4-hour workshop, Dave Morris will teach you the techniques and approaches he uses to build a solo show. Whether you want to tell stories (like his recent fringe hit, 52 Stories) or improvise (like his former pick of the fringe shows, “Photobooth” or “Improv Club”), this workshop will give you some new tools for creating a show!
The goal of this workshop is to leave you with a process for building your own solo show by igniting your creative ideas. You may not end up with a fully completed show at the end, but you’ll have a structure (or multiple) some scene ideas, and the inspiration to keep on building!
Come make a show!

In this one-day intensive Dave Morris will share with you decades worth of storytelling tips and tricks. We will be using some improv techniques throughout the workshop, but the focus is on honest personal storytelling. You'll leave the workshop with new tools that will help you bring your personal stories to the next level. This workshop will make you a better storyteller and, consequently, a better improviser.
Dave Morris' one-man improv storytelling shows have won multiple awards and he's been featured at festivals around the world including London, Amsterdam, Montreal, and more. His newest work, 52 Stories, was not only featured at the 2022 UNO Festival, but had a completely sold out run at the 2024 Victoria Fringe Festival, and won two Pick of the Fringe Awards: Favourite Storytelling Show and Favourite Solo Show.
