"Secret Hollywood success phone number is 100 euros extra"
Ron's workshop will help encourage improvisers to become experts in staying in the moment, being physical, and making one's partners look good. Exercises will be dedicated to developing listening and making smart sustainable choices which is especially important in long form. Residual benefits to improvisers is they will be more confident actors and enjoy exploring and heightening in fun and funny scenes. Time permitting, we'll see if we can recognise the salvable scene and turn it into a repeatable sketch.
This workshop is open to improvisers with stage experience.
The workshop runs from 11am to 3pm.
