Tim Paul - Full Day Discounted Double Workshop
Attacking the Top - You can't play in a scene, if you take the whole scene to figure out what's going on. In this workshop, the Focus is on both verbal & non-verbal initiations, laying a strong foundation at the top of the scene, not dropping your sh*t, endowing you & your scene partner with strong character choices, specificity in lieu of ambiguity, establishing an environment to exist in, grounding your character in emotion & removing the fluff in the initial dialogue to make room for meaty choices that give your scene partner something to Yes And off of. Scenes will not go longer than 30-60 seconds. It sounds like a lot, because it is.
Down to the C.O.R.E.: Scene Diagnostics
Character, Objective, Relationship, Environment - four elements of a scene that provide you with the framework to knock it out of the park. In this workshop, I pinpoint & tackle specific weaknesses & bad habits that rise to the surface in your scene work. From there, I will assign specific challenges in later scenes that are geared towards your specific area of need amongst the four elements of C.O.R.E. This class is a scenic bootcamp, where we will look at your scenes form the inside out. There's no room for games here, we're just doing scenes.
