online improv elective: Playing from the heart

Level: Experienced

This workshop will focus on slowing down, connecting with yourself and your scene partner for rich, captivating scenes.

Discover the freedom of playing from instinct and sensation, rather than thinking, as we bring awareness into the body and really listen. We will look at the emotional connection with your scene partner, feeling the relationship and giving space for the alchemy between these players in this moment.

Playing from the heart creates scenes that really spark. When we get out of our chattering heads and into our senses, creativity flows and compelling connections emerge which may be joyously funny or deeply touching.

Expect:

Slow burn scenes rooted in emotional connection

Listening to your own internal sensations

Expressing emotion

Min. participants 6, max. participants 12. If we have to cancel the event due to low numbers, we will do this with 24 hours notice.

This Experienced elective runs Wednesday 28th April 7 pm – 9.30 pm BST
