Space is the Place
in Howden with Graham Armstrong
Look around you! Do you see what it is? Yes, you probably do but your audience and scene partners won't unless you make it clear! This workshop will focus on object work and creating interesting environments for our scenes. For objects, we'll look at how we mime interactions and what that might say about our characters. We'll also look at how we can communicate the environment and how that might drive a scene forward. This workshop will be beginner friendly and involve a moderate amount of moving around.
I AM A TREE
in Meet 4 with Terje Brevik
Ever had your brain tell you your idea is wrong or not good enough? That you should feel bad for messing up or not knowing everything? Relax, our brains are idiots. Improv provides tools to make everything right and everyone look like a genius. When we find the confidence to trust and navigate the process, we’re never truly lost, even when we are. One simple exercise. One simple goal: turn everything you say or do into the right thing from this moment on.
