CHARACTERS | Improv Workshop Series

Pinch Arts

4 week, 10 hour improv workshop series exploring characters through the lens of psychology, physicality and voice!

165 King St W

Characters: Explore the bold world of character-forward improv! Over the course of 10 hours of instruction this workshop series will look at psychological, emotional, physical, and vocal approaches to playing complex, interesting characters on stage. This class will help you extend your range and open up new choices in spontaneity that rely less on doing and more on being.We'll dig deep into scenework that centres characters and relationships as the driving force, rather story-structure or action. A fresh take on improvisation that will open new horizons for hilarity and play! Dates and times: Tuesdays| Nov 4-25 | 7:00-9:30pm Venue: This workshop will take place at 165 King St W, Kitchener. This is the same building as Libro Credit Union downtown. The studio is in the basement and Ben will meet you at the street entrance to head down together. Make sure you go to King St West, not East!
