Creating Character from the Inside Out.

This workshop will introduce exercises that actors use in the creation of realistic characters. Games and exercises will explore: Essence of character - how actors use the body in space to communicate who they are The connection between the body, energy and emotion How to use emotional states to change physicality, and how this drives the scene and affects a scene partner How to react with volition to create sustained, compelling narrative through character The aim of this workshop is for participants to play the first 10 minutes of an improvised scene uninterrupted.
