Every element in this workshop is immediately transferable into your performance and allows you to create a consistently high level theatrical experience for you and your audience. The skills you will learn can be applied in every style of improvisation you play as well as in life

Acting NOT reacting - character driven impro
As improvisers we train ourselves to react to suggestions from our scene partners and the audience, and to build scenes through “yes, and”. In this workshop, we take inspiration from scripted acting and explore how to build narrative through character motivations and how they affect the relationships on stage. We challenge ourselves, and the trust of our scene partners, to not always take the path of least resistance and make choices informed by our improviser training, but instead informed by our character. We’ll work with realistic conflicts and love, tension, silence, body language and holding on to our characters perspective as we train to make our characters multilayered, grounded and specific.
