A good story requires appealing characters. But it’s not easy to create a multidimensional character off the top of our head, while juggling with directing, writing and set designing our show. Because of that, we often end up playing the same types of characters over and over again. But it doesn’t have to be that way…

In this 8 week bubble, Billy Kissa will introduce to you tools to create unique and memorable characters (physical traits, emotional states, values and objectives, object work and much more more). Get ready to leave your comfort zone and find ways to stick with your character through the whole show, while at the same time evolving them throughout the story you and your fellow improvisers are creating!

By the end of the course, we will create a character based show for everyone to see!

  What you'll learn

• What makes a character appealing

• Easy ways to create characters (eg emotional depth, backstory, important goals, the body)

• Character Evolution

• The importance of personal identification

• How to hold on to your character at the same time as you are being the director and screenwriter of your show

  Who this is for

This is one of our Bubbles. These courses are intended for improvisers who already have an understanding of the basics, perhaps (but not necessarily) though our own Starting Steps courses. If you’re wondering which course is right for you, then feel free to email us.

This Bubble is suitable for both intermediate and advanced players.
