Double Deep Dive !

Do you want to do more moving in your improv? Make better use of the space? And connect with your fellow players to create scenes that matter?

In this workshop Laura & Gael will work with you on body positions and postures. You will explore different ways to use the space on stage.

How can our body tell the story? We know! By moving, by positioning ourselves in relation to other players, and by bringing our body to different places on the stage. What does it mean when I say I love you, facing away from you? Which questions arise when all the prisoners are in one corner of the cell? How can we show -not tell- and surprise ourselves in the process?

After this workshop you will have more tools to make beautiful stage pictures and play memorable scenes. Above all, you will have a great deal of fun experimenting, learning and playing with two international improv and theatre experts.

One-Day Intensive (3 hrs):

  • Sunday October 13th (Thanksgiving!) 3pm-6pm
    Instructor: Laura and Gael Doorneweerd-Perry

$70* (+GST)
@ Intrepid Theatre Club (1609 Blanshard St)
*Or $50 if you also take Improv Lightbox
