[Workshop] Balancing The Scene with Justin Torres (HR Shovin’ Stuff)

Sometimes improvisation can feel like a roller coaster in which we have no control over. Other times it can feel like you're pushing a cart up a hill.

How can we balance the fun of the chaos with the calming sense of discovery? The secret is in a mix of patience and movement.

You have to be able to hold back, let go, make moves, listen, communicate, and somehow have an amazing time in the process.

This workshop will give you the foundation to having a bit more control of your scenes. By balancing when to move and when not to, you can have a basic foundation that will make you feel comfortable in your uniqueness as an improviser.
