How to be a WierdoLaura Riseborough
'How To Be A Weirdo' is a workshop focused on taking your characters to the next level. Try new tools and approaches to character development in improv and help build confidence to let your own inner-weirdo out on stage. Try techniques to more fully inhabit a range of different roles, surprise the audience, surprise yourself! Expand your acting range and trust your instincts, to discover you actually have a whole party of characters hidden in your improviser's backpack.
"If you're lucky enough to find a Weirdo, never let them go!"
