Take the plunge!
Participants: Level 3 and higher
Instructor: Lisa Rowland from San Francisco / USA
The workshop will be taught in English
Hey guys! Prepare for a whole lot of energy and boldness! Remember this situation? You're on stage, you're getting a suggestion from the audience, you feel inspired, you start playing... but the scene doesn't really take off. It starts somewhere in Nowhereland where nothing happens and nothing changes and it becomes more and more difficult to build on something that hasn't really been anything to begin with. In this workshop, Lisa Rowland will show you ways how to avoid the ramp-up into a scene and, instead, dive straight into the dynamic heart of it by more deeply exploring the who/what/where with momentum, energy and boldness. You will be doing scenework focussing on hitting the ground, stage picture, theatricality and rapid fire creation of a world. Come on board and take the plunge!
