Zenprov & Musical Improv Double Discounted Workshops
ZENPROV
Learn how to do great, honest scenes effortlessly, using the Zenprov Unified Theory.
The practice of Zen Buddhism and Improvisation are similar and complimentary. At the core of both is the concept of being in the moment, and on stage this leads to effortlessly DISCOVERING what is already there, rather than using a more stressful and less authentic technique for CREATING. This Zenprov workshop uses fun, creative exercises to open participants up to the present moment and thus the Source of Genius.
"The exercises we did got me out of my head, allowed me to respond with an emotional honesty that my characters often don't have and very importantly for me, it allowed me to make a group of people laugh without having to try hard...What [the workshop] did for me was give me a sense of freedom in my scene-work that I'd encountered before, but had never been able to deliberately elicit for myself."
-Lloydie James Lloyd, MissImp, UK
