Event Details

Status play happens continually in life. It is a form of silent communication, significant in how we relate to and are affected by people everyday.

On stage relationships look void of any real connection when status play is not present. Master Servant work is anchored in status. It is the understanding of status play and the ability to raise and lower each others status which can build tension or create comedy. It is an important technique to have in your impro tool kit.

This workshop is a physical workshop and will involve being hit by balloons.
