About this Workshop
Have an emotional reaction, make a choice, add your brick to the scene/world you are building. If you build it, they will engage. React intentionally! The audience will hear your words And! they see the tiniest arch of an eyebrow, wrinkle of a forehead. Use this to your advantage, know that they are watching, react intentionally! This will help slow you down and be fully immersed in your character and be fully present with your scene partner. Fully live in the world you have created, fully live as your character in that moment. In this workshop you will learn to react authentically and use the slightly movement facial expression with intention and bring your scene work to a new level!
