Master Class with Jacob Banigan – A Character Named Will

Schedule

Sat Apr 01 2023 at 11:00 am

Location

The Courtyard Playhouse Dubai | Dubai, DU

A CHARACTER NAMED WILL
A scene has a location, a situation, a plot, events and ideas. But none of that matters until we meet the characters, and care what happens to them. In this workshop, we will uncover what makes a character interesting, what drives them, and what we can expect from them. We need to mix the familiar with the extreme, to get to the person, our hero.
