We will look at how physicality with body language and staging/ character proximity can be used to enhance relationships and will discover the subtle beauty of truthful moments in improv through useful skills, exercises and techniques. Finding the incredible moments in the seemingly mundane and exploring how to bring elements of you, your natural reactions and responses into the improv scenes through characters and comedy.
Who’s this for?
This workshop is for students who are experienced in scene work to an intermediate/advanced level. It focuses on enhancing tools that can be used in scenes rather then 'how to do an improv scene'.
