We’re beyond excited to have our special guests down from Vancouver to perform and teach while they’re in Austin. They’re offering just one workshop with limited space, all about using emotion in your scenework. Read all about it and then jump in!

About the Workshop- Emotional Hi:

We have vibrant and rich emotional lives that most of us spend our lives suppressing – what better place to explore those lives than onstage?

Tapping into the emotional lives of our characters can bring them, and a scene, to life. By doing so we create an engaging story and more and original opportunities for comedy.

We explore how being emotionally engaged affects the way a scene begins, how a scene changes when a character has a powerful emotional reaction, and how a character’s emotional journey can be the story of a scene.
