This workshop will look at all the components of a scene and particularly what the characters are involved in, do, suffer, and solve: Game and Relationship, the two mechanisms we actors discover that can be separate and autonomous operating the scene alone or they can work in beautiful harmony combined accentuating, aggravating, or foiling each other. This workshop will work on the skills to strengthen work on game and relationship in scenes, identifying the differences and similarities, and when the two blend seamlessly into one. Through very practical exercises and scene work, the course will explore how to let the game become something you and your partner can obviously discover and joyfully heighten. Through scene work and exercises, we will explore the ease, focus, and confidence necessary to allow relationships to unfold. Being committed and vulnerable together for the audience will give them characters that lure them in and make them care.
