Words Get In The Way (Intermediate/Advanced Workshop) With Misch Whitaker
We are all constantly communicating nonverbally through facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch and the use of space. Tap into an awareness of the way you are using your body and bring your choices on stage to a new level of strength - through silence! We'll play with a variety of techniques designed to boost your nonverbal stage game. Discover situations when words are necessary, when they're optional, and when you may just want to do away with them altogether! Shhhh!
PREREQUISITE: Completion of Zen of Improv 4
