The side of the stage is one of the most powerful places to be in improv. If you watch a scene passively, it might die on the stage. But with the right entrance, line, or sound effect, you can make it truly great. Kevin Miller will teach you how to hone your instinct for an offer from the sidelines—know when to join the scene, when to stay off, and how to seamlessly become part of the show.
We are made of molecules. They react to each other, they have no choice. Most of the time, we know what will happen, but sometimes, it’s a surprise!
What if our way of playing would be like that? Without thinking but just doing because we know what we have to do…or not!
In this workshops, we’ll train to do. Just do. Experiment and see what happens, essentially through body movement and emotional reactions. First, we’ll train to react in a predetermined way and have fun with that. And step by step, letting ourselves to be more and more free and surprised!
Like a scientist, expecting anything, from a color change to an explosion!
An in depth workshop focusing on how we use our voices when we improvise. We will do musical improv with a deep focus on tone, projection, timbre and technique. If you have improv experience and some musical improv training this workshop is a good complement and a full vocal workout.
A good improvised story should awaken interest and emotionally touch the audience. For the construction of a good story you need a good foundation: character, space and event. From there, the improvisers work so that the rhythm of the story captivates the viewer and has a very clear ending. In the workshop, we will remember the structure of the classic narrative, the way to use it in improvisation and how it leads us towards the very clear end. Everything has to do with the hero, his goal and the way to achieve it.
