Creating Interesting Characters
This workshop focuses on building interesting improvised characters. Using a simple approach of one choice at the top and subsequent nuanced choices as the scene proceeds leads to memorable characters as well as informing vocal quality, point of view, want, and disposition. When we become the character, content choices become easier and scenes get more fun!
2 Hour Workshop
All experience levels are welcome.
