WORKSHOP: EMOTION, EMOTION, EMOTION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23rd
10:00am - 1:00pm
AUCKLAND - Covert Theatre, 51 Mackelvie Street, Ponsonby, Auckland 1021
People are often drawn to comedy because it is a natural defense mechanism against feeling and/or showing emotion. The trouble is, without emotional investment, there is no scene - and - there is no comedy. To be a master improviser, you must know how to show and play with a wide range of emotions in scenes. In this workshop, we will practice a variety of techniques to tap into our emotions and then play them. SOLD OUT!
WORKSHOP: PLAY. HARD.
SATURDAY, APRIL 26th
10:00am - 1:00pm
AUCKLAND - Covert Theatre, 51 Mackelvie Street, Ponsonby, Auckland 1021
When we are scared, something in our brains tells us to shut down, pull in, and play it safe. On stage, these survival instincts are the opposite of what will save us! We see scene after scene of improvisers standing awkwardly and talking about nothing. In this workshop, you will learn how to open up, project out, and attack each scene with energy, emotion, and joy.
SOLD OUT!

We all hear about the “game of the scene” – but what does it really mean? How do we find it? Once we find it, what do we do with it?
