WORKSHOPS
USING PHYSICALITY IN IMPROV
Sometimes you can say something with a facial expression or an interesting physical choice before you begin to speak. Do we need to rely on saying funny things for comedy? We may be compelled to fill the scene with words and become uncomfortable with vulnerability and silence, but sometimes what we don't say is more important than what we say.
Perhaps the thing that cuts through all the noise is silence and committed physical work. In this workshop, we will approach improvisation through physicality- using it to build character or tell a story without saying a word. A simple physical choice can help inform vocal quality, point of view, want, and disposition to create deep, rich characters.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in because this workshop is certain to get you moving. ​
​
THE COMPLETE SCENE:
FIVE POINT SCENIC STRUCTURE
In this workshop, students focus on learning and utilizing a simple structure to create a complete scene with a fulfilling beginning, middle, and end. The structure helps guide the improviser's choices while allowing plenty of space to play with emotion, character, point of view, and heightened comic action to manifest dynamic relationship scenes.
WORKSHOPS
THE MEISNER TECHNIQUE
If you are an improviser who feels stuck in your head instead of being-in-the-moment, this workshop is for you! In this workshop we will use The Meisner Technique, including The Repetition Exercise and living truthfully under heightened Imaginary Circumstances to enhance your improvisational skills. Improvisation growth comes through getting-out-of-your-head and comfort zone.
“Taking Meisner classes provided the greatest breakthrough in my improvisational journey” – Johnny Kalita
Benefits: Building on-stage confidence, being fully present, expanding imagination and emotional range, and owning your artistic voice.
*Disclaimer: The work in this class will put you in high-stakes emotional circumstances that will cause discomfort.
