What is our story about? Authenticity, Opinions, Soliloquies.

Level: Advanced
Instructor: Ignacio Lopez from Madrid/Spain
The workshop will be taught in English
Duration: 12 hours

We are improvisers and storytelling is in our blood. But even though we know how to drive a story forward, sometimes we have a hard time identifying the core of a scene. What was the story really about? To give it meaning, we can't just focus on narrative. We have to work from our characters' personal truths and show them in all their complexity. In this workshop we will dig deep into the minds of the characters we portray. We will be using tools such as soliloquies to shed a light on their opinions. A compelling performance needs beauty as well as ugliness… if we put on a show without these aspects, we deny ourselves and the audience to experience the whole spectrum of human existence and the pleasure of emotional release.
