ABOUT THE CLASS
Perfection, strength, and impermeability are great, but those qualities aren't necessarily relatable... or funny.
This workshop is all about allowing ourselves to be more vulnerable and human as we improvise.
Exercises will focus on accessing character wants, weaknesses, and emotional core.
By tapping into honest, open-hearted, scene-work, participants will walk away with a more vital and satisfying style of play.
