- Arts
Blake Worrell, also known as "Big Blake" in this neck of the woods, is a rapper, producer, director, and award winning filmmaker whose striking stature and radiating charisma only serve to further highlight his soft spoken nature and beguiling kind-heartedness. He holds a very dear part in our own improv history as the driving force behind the creation of our beloved Skeleton Brains, the improv team we've been rehearsing and performing with for over two years now.
Together we dive into what it means to listen and support our scene partners on stage, and how doing the same in real life can promote learning, laughter, and conflict resolution. We explore the blocks people have to listening to strongly differing opinions and tactics for circumventing those blocks, as well as what might be needed to bring the world together in a time of tension.
If that's not enthralling enough for you, brace yourself for what is without a doubt the strangest, most bizarre, and possibly funniest improv we've done on the show to date. We welcome you into my bedroom for a rousing episode of the game show, "Guess How Much My Shit Is Worth," where the stakes are has high as the prizes are valueless, before peeking into the future of an aging Tom Cruise via a documentary where the only person who doesn't understand he's on camera is Tom himself.
To check out Blake Worrell's films and discography, visit his website at www.blakeworrell.com, and follow him on instagram at @blakeworrell to stay up to date on all of his latest projects.
As always, thanks for listening, and be sure to follow us on instagram at @henriandblake for a sneak peek of the next episode of "Improvise Till You Make It!" and to keep posted on all the exciting ways we continue to spread the improv mindset.
