  • Bluff Lab: Open Workshop & Jam

    Bluff Lab is an interdisciplinary creative workshop blending improvisation, writing, and sound-play.

    The lab explores “bluffing” not as deception, but as a creative tool: pretending, testing, and moving forward with or without certainty. Through structured prompts and playful constraints, participants are invited to loosen habits, bypass overthinking, and access new ways of making and collaborating.

    In the second half of the evening, participants can join or observe a playful, guided jam using material generated during the workshop. Participation is always optional.

  • True Bluff Waits

    The Bluff Education Hour presents an improvised rom-com radio play. Four performers weave voices and sounds into a heart-pounding ride of near-misses, big feelings, and unexpected turns. It's playful, intimate, and boldly unpredictable — where what awaits depends on what we dare to believe.
