The first few lines of an improvised scene are the beginnings of a blueprint for said scene. Initiating can sometimes provoke anxiety. This concentration will work that initiation muscle and lessen those fears so you can be confident right out of the gate. We’ll focus on removing all second-guessing of yourself when it comes to starting a scene by providing strong initiating choices, actions, and dialogue.
