Online Grounded Scenework Course

Level: Experienced

This course is dedicated to techniques that forge a fierce and stable connection with your scene partner. It is intended to produce improv which is theatrical, patient and beautifully constructed. Create scenes which illicit a range of responses from delighted laughter to open-mouthed wonder.

Work on emotional listening, making clear choices, building a scene together and having an emotional point of view.

We’ll also play with ideas that allow you to be vulnerable, fearless and effortlessly collaborative.

Syllabus includes:

Trust: become comfortable with your scene partners

Clarity, tempo & silence: learn to take your time and pace your scene

Feel something: play with emotional point of view and see how it affects every other aspect of performance

Joy & play: how to be intensely theatrical and still have a great time

The now moment: appreciate the subtleties of an artform that is produced and consumed simultaneously and in real time
