Event Details

Level: experienced

This intensive 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 elicit 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 an 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 art form that is produced and consumed simultaneously and in real-time

Min. participants 6, max. participants 12.

This Experienced intensive runs every day from 15th to 20th February, 2 pm – 4 pm GMT
