EIIF: Backline Fairy Godmother

with Molly Thomas

(Sat 22 Mar: 1:10pm)

Players on the backline are every bit as responsible for the success of a scene as the players in the scene. In this workshop, we'll explore the breadth of backline moves with the philosophy "Is there anything I can do to help this scene?"

This session will focus on making supportive, theatrical, moves that support game and/or immerse us into the world of the scene, exploring scenework as well as sets.

Participants should have basic improv training.
