EIIF: Dramatic Improv - Tension and the Power of the Pause
with Keiko Agena
(Fri 21 Mar: 2:10pm) - SOLD OUT
Why the rush? This class will explore patience and pace. Something is always happening on stage. Silence is also a something. There are multiple ways to carve out a scene and playing with pace is a wonderful way to get somewhere unexpected.
Participants should have basic improv training.
