Much like board games, improv scenes are always more fun with expansions! If you are looking for ways to go beyond just standing and talking about what your characters are doing in scenes, or just want to practice adding some more dimension and immersion to your scene work, this workshop is for you! In this workshop, we’ll explore:
- Establishing scene environments that give purpose to movement on stage
- Interacting with objects and space around us to ground our scenes and inspire character traits
- Rediscovering ways to react and respond honestly
Recommended for improvisers who have completed at least 2 levels of long-form improv
