Characters are the heart of improvisation. Engaging characters draw the audience into a scene and make them want to watch more. A character can also be a powerful way of connecting with other performers and finding your inspiration. And yet, as improvisors, we often end up playing ourselves on stage.

In this class, you will begin to explore how to transform your body and voice on the stage, and challenge your physical and vocal habits. You will practice creating powerful, memorable characters perfect for both fun, comedic shows and more dramatic work. Themes and skills to be explored include:

• Exploring your physicality & voice

• Expert High and Low Status

• Motivations & Objectives

• Relationships

• Mantras

It is  pre-requisite that you have completed a beginner improvisation course (such as our Level 1 class). Contact us if you have any questions.

• Date: Mondays 10th May to 28th June (8 weeks)

• Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm

• Location: Ithaca Hall, Cnr Ennoggera & Kennedy Tce

All participants will be invited to demonstrate their skills at a graduation show at the end of the workshop.

Please note: Our classes are primarily aimed at adults - if you are under 18, let us know and we will confirm if you can attend the class.
