Edits and Transitions (cut throughs)
The ability to edit and transition improvised scenes takes time to learn but employing them well enhances your work immeasurably. Often, we are scared to interrupt or interject, when in fact our fellow players are crying out to be edited. Through a simple set of exercises, you will learn how to trust your instinct and overcome that doubt.

Rooting characters in the physical
We all remember shapes. Starting from this premise we will explore how to create distinctive characters that are visually memorable to our fellow players. Very often we walk in upright, using our own rhythm. This can lead to confusion of what character you are. In this workshop we will explore how to play against our own natural rhythm, shape and unlock characters that we did not know existed.
