Teacher of the Month: Amy Driscoll

Topic of the Month: Genre Inspired World Building

Through a combination of hands-on exercises and group discussions, you'll explore the world of genre and learn how to create rich, immersive environments that will transport you and your audience to another realm.

For this workshop, we'll focus on building a world inspired by the fantastical creatures, landscapes, and lore of tabletop RPGs. You'll explore different genres, tropes and learn how to incorporate elements of these into performances.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have started to pull together the tools needed to build recognisable genre scenes with improvised twists that are sure to captivate your audience and transport them to another world.
