EIIF: Character Gut Check
with Kris Wiener
(Sun 23 Mar: 10am)
If you know what your character thinks, wants, and fears, scene choices feel effortless. You will practice building authentic and layered performances and character-driven games.
Participants should have basic improv training.

Kris Wiener is a New York-based improviser and actor. She has performed and coached improv comedy for 10 years, and was on the UCB Harold Teams Some Kid and Too Damn Much.
She studied acting with Terry Knickerbocker, and focuses on emotional and truthful scene choices in between dick jokes. Her current running shows are Old Yorkers and KidProv (a family-friendly improv show at The People’s Improv Theatre — no dick jokes there).
