Saturday, May 30th, 2-5 PM
Where:
The Eagle Theater - 921 Front St, Old Sacramento - California Historical Landmark #595. Parking information is here.
About:
Strong scenes are driven by who the characters are to each other, not just what they are doing. When the relationship is clear, the scene has direction, stakes, and emotional grounding from the start.
In this workshop, improvisers practice establishing relationships quickly and letting that dynamic guide behavior, dialogue, and decisions. Through focused exercises and coached scenes, you’ll explore how shared history, affection, or loyalty shape interactions on stage. Instead of defaulting to activity or plot, you’ll learn to make the relationship the engine of the scene.
Leave with practical tools for creating grounded connections that give your scenes clarity, momentum, and something meaningful to play.
