Billy Soco presents
Workshop: The Improv Expansion Pack
Workshop
Much like boardgames, improv scenes are always more fun with expansions! If you are looking for ways to go beyond just talking about what your characters are doing and thinking in scenes or want to practice adding some more dimension and immersion to your scenework, this workshop is for you! In this workshop, we’ll explore
• Establishing scene environments that give purpose to movement on stage and inspire our characters’ perspectives
• Leveraging the objects and space around us to ground our scenes and inspire character traits
• Rediscovering ways to react and respond honestly
Receommended for all experience levels, great for brand new improvisors, beginners, intermediate and advanced.
