Character Comedy Workshop | Learn how to play the comedy of the "who!" This workshop will focus on the building blocks of what makes "a character" and how they can be used to drive a comedic scene. Over three hours, it will explore topics such as point of view, physicality, and voice by utilizing a variety of exercises. The bulk of the class will be improv but will end with a discussion about how it can be applied to written work, such as solo character pieces and sketches. If you've ever wanted to play characters like you see on SNL/other TV programs or are just looking to try a new approach to scene work, this workshop is for you!
