Synopsis:

Group scenes can be challenging. How do we share focus when we’re all on stage and what do we focus on to explore when we all have our own ideas? 

Everyone you improvise with has a different lived experience. How do we incorporate each other's points of view, experiences and creativity into cohesive group play? 

This workshop will introduce you to different approaches for having fun, focused group scenes and creating a group mind within your ensemble with an emphasis on keeping it simple and connecting.

Important information:

Suitable for improvisers of intermediate to advanced level.

Kindly note that the workshop venue is on the 2nd level and is not wheelchair-accessible.
