Asaf Ronen and Karen Wight Workshop - Six Hour Intensive
This six hour intensive workshop will combine Asaf Ronen's Breaking Out of the Scene with Karen Wight's Fun in Physicality workshops!
Breaking Out of the Scene:
Learn to play with longform edits as inspired by film, to roll with whatever is going on in the scene and to add new twists onto the usual dynamics.
Fun in Physicality:
This class incorporates elements of clowning, mime, and environmental work and applies them to improv scene work. By freeing up the body, the student will discover new characters, different approaches to creating a relationship onstage, and tools to add variety to their scene work.
