Details
You've probably heard the term "grounded scene", but what does that really mean? Great scenes come from strong roots, and this workshop will focus on the art of slow, patient scene work. You'll learn how to embrace silence, let your characters grow organically, and find the truth in the scene. If you've got some experience in improv, but want to learn how to play with more honesty, this is the class for you.
Topic: Emotionally Grounded Scenes
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early and check in with the NPP representative in front of the workshop location. If you can't make it, please cancel your reservation to allow others to register due to limited space. Thank you!
Dress Casual (jeans ok)

He currently can be seen with Clued In at Second City, Hitchcocktails at The Annoyance, The Armando and Whirled News Tonight at iO, and all over the country with his duo Jaymes Gretchky.
