A one-day intensive workshop with the wonderful Will Luera!
Every object in the Universe has an affect on every other object in the Universe. The mere fact that you share the stage with someone else gives you a relationship. Your relationship is affected by your distance from each other, how you move relative to each other and each individual's perception of time (Yes, sometimes two characters can be functioning on two different scales of time in the same scene). We will explore the multiple dimensions that make up a scene. See your scenes in a whole new light with this eye-opening intensive!
Prerequisite: Completion of Long Form Scenework or permission from [email protected]
