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 6 week course, 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
• Emotions & Mantras
DATE: Saturday 15th August - Saturday 19th September (6 weeks)
TIME: 10am - 1pm
LOCATION: The Exchange - 81 Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove
All participants will be invited to demonstrate their skills at a graduation show at the end of the workshop.
