A workshop for comedy improvisers looking to be more dynamic performers. Learn how to connect what you do and what you say onstage!
Do you find yourself in a lot of scenes where two people stand still across from each other? Moving on stage can be daunting. We focus so much on what we say as improvisers, that we often ignore what our bodies can do. Making bold, physical choices will make your scenes more dynamic and fun to play.
In this 3 hour workshop, we will let go and find new ways to move on stage. We’ll look at connecting physical and emotional reactions, explore how movement and physicality can help flesh out the world of a scene, and look at how we can use movement to raise the stakes and heighten a scene.
As seen at The Free Association!
