In this three part workshop, we will explore the power of harnessing emotions to see how they can help us create a scene with high stakes and, as a consequence, interesting relationships between the characters. We will learn how to use our emotions as a tool to create interest in the scene and get inspired, even before we know exactly what is going on, and to make the stakes evolve alongside the relationships.

Who this is for
This is a short course we’re running in place of our normal courses, during the continued lockdown. Our normal in person courses will resume where they left off, as soon as we’re able to reopen our venue.
This course is aimed at all improvisers as it’s a core skill, but it helps if you have already completed Step 1. If you’re unsure, then do get in touch!
