Ever wonder how to pivot in a scene when you feel uncomfortable? Or how to address a moment that didn't feel quite right on stage? This workshop will give you team building exercises, in-scene techniques, and post-show processes that can allow you to handle the tough parts of collaborative art so that you can become a stronger, more honest and comfortable performance team!
