Class Description

Hey, don’t I know you? Heck yeah you do! Allowing our characters to be familiar with each other and their environment helps us more naturally discover why they care about one another, gets us to a clear relationship faster, and can make for some super compelling scene work. In this workshop we’ll explore

Building character histories and acquaintance to discover relationship dynamics
Establishing details in environment to inspire character comforts
Tapping into our own lived experiences toward building more authentic character interactions

Prerequisite: Advanced Improv Level One
