This is a workshop about the top of the scene – that first moment when you feel either that great connection with your scene partner or that sinking feeling that you are alone in the universe. Don’t you want more of that great feeling and less of that sinking feeling? I call that great feeling at the top of a scene when you know you are together and everything is going to work out – The Join. It is about supporting, not understanding. It is about belonging to each other, even when you don’t know how. It is about moving before you talk. Every scene starts with a join, so you might as well learn The Join.
