RELATIONSHIP SCENE STUDY CLASS

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. Building a Relationship Point of View requires a Shared History, Trust, Acceptance, Agreement and Collaboration. These are some big challenges for us as humans, let alone actors and writers - but worth it!

This workshop is for anyone interested in putting extra attention on their improvisational scene work, thinking about doing a two-person show, or wanting to create more textured relationship scenes.

Rachel and Dave of the Frank Mills, will help you get to the compelling part of the relationship and play there. You know - Mother/Daughter, Criminal/Judge, Waitress/Squirrel, they can all be meaningful and layered.

You cruelly discriminate against the ColdTowne Level 4 class, which meets at the same time. I bite my knuckles at you.

Good workshop. I really enjoyed the exercises and saw my characters going deeper emotionally into their relationships than I normally muster.

I'm trying now to write down all the different exercises and pointers I learned. I don't know why I never bring a dedicated notebook to workshops. Very stupid of me. Must remedy that.

Anyway - thanks again!
