Mornings:Β Scene Study and Improv Β – We will work on scene study to hone the skills of connecting with a scene partner and creating a character, and improvΒ to get the creative juices flowing, get out of our heads and into our bodies so we can create art in a non-judgmental, safe and fun space!
Afternoons:Β Β On Camera and Auditions. This part of the spring workshop will get you whipped into audition and on-camera shape! It will warm up those improv muscles, hone in on the skills you need to up your audition game, and work on telling the story of a scene on camera.
