EIIF: Let's Get Physical! #1 Creating Dynamic Characters

with Jiavani

(Sat 22 Mar: 10am) - SOLD OUT

Playing a variety of colourful characters is fun and liberating! This workshop will teach you how to use physicality and voice to create an array of dynamic characters. Whether you want to expand your range for improv, write interesting characters into sketches or sharpen your skills in acting, you can invigorate your imagination using experimentation and play.

This is part one of a two-part series across the weekend. You can experience this as a standalone class or as the recommended two-parter.

Participants should have basic improv training.
