Stability through specificity. Discovery through relationship.
Scenes thrive when performers know exactly who they are, what they’re doing, and where they are, and then co-create clarity to a living, dimensional and playful relationship.
Let go of inventing plot… and let specificity create connection.
This workshop is a workout in:
- Building strong, actionable foundations
- Not talking about “the thing”
- Staying in discovery
- Prioritizing the emotional why behind every line
- Identifying and heightening the pattern of the relationship
Class is accessible to anyone ready for a foundational scenework intensive. It is intended for any level doing scenework in their classes and/or performance. Not recommended as a beginning class.
Experience Level
