A Moment Like This with Jordana Mishory
Learn how to get out of your head and into the moment! Use active listening and response to help build easier and more successful scenes alongside your scene partner!
During this workshop we will do exercises that will help you strip down the elements of scenework to enable you to really work that listening muscle — and help develop tools to apply those skills to your scenes so that you are staying in the moment and responding to the last thing your scene partner said.
- You feel stuck in scenes, and want to understand how to easily and successfully push your scenes forward
- You find that you are not listening to your scene partner or do not understand what to respond to.
- You feel stuck in your head or that you are overcomplicating your scenes.
ABOUT JORDANA
During the day, Jordana works as WIT’s operations director. At night, Jordana teaches advanced classes at WIT and performs with WIT Ensembles Uncle Gorgeous and The Hypothesis, and indie teams Jos. A. Banksy, Schtick, Schtick… BOOM!, and 2023 FIST champs Moonstruck 2.
Jordana was also a cast member in The Heist, an improvised drama about a bank robbery gone wrong, as well as WIT’s POTUS Among Us 2016. She previously played with long-time indie stalwarts Cake Bagel, duo Galbraith & Mishory, and WIT Ensemble Love Onion. Jordana directed Hellcat from 2017-2019.
She has performed at festivals across the country including the Del Close Marathon and the Chicago Improv Festival — as well as at The Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage New Play Festival. Jordana completed the curricula at WIT and the World’s Greatest Improv School, training extensively with Will Hines and Alex Berg. She also trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. She has spent enough money on workshops over the years to presumably purchase her own private island. (She assumes, having no idea how much private islands cost).
Jordana is a strong advocate of side-coaching with an intense focus on believable emotions and strong deals. She is a stronger advocate of having the most fun you’ve ever had in your entire life while on stage. She spends most of her time in scenes trying not to giggle at her hilarious troupemates.
