This workshop aims to equip you with the necessary tools to navigate scenes where we may have sticking points.

Through interactive exercises and discussions, you’ll develop the confidence to attack these scenarios head on.

3. Supporting your partner when they come in playing a very big character
4. Making absurd scenes more grounded
5. Getting on the same page with your scene partner
6. Navigating through transaction or teaching scenes
7. Diversifying your scene starts and adding more variety to your sets
8. Adding more specificity to the choices we make in scenes
9. Unsticking ourselves when we are stuck in an argument scene
