SUNDAY 3/29- TWO WORKSHOPS WITH DAVE BUCKMAN IN ONE DAY!

Post by Dave »

GROUP SCENE STUDY CLASSES

Building a scene together when the relationship is strong, is one the most fun, compelling, joyful rides we can take for ourselves and the audience. How do you continue that joy when the possibility of complete chaos is ever present? Students will learn how to find their own game to play within that chaos while remaining true to the moment they are in.

These workshops are for anyone interested in putting extra attention on their group scene work while creating more textured relationships in the process.
Dave Buckman (of the Frank Mills) will help you find the serenity within a clusterfuck and be playful there.

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.
