Ensemble Storytelling with Jon Bolden (2 days, 5 hrs total)

This two-day workshop will explore improvising short plays / unconventional films that do not have a strong focus on a singular main character. In the spirit of ensemble-oriented worlds such as the plays of Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, or the films of Richard Linklater, we will work to deliver a simple world of characters.

Chris Moody’s Emotional Breakdown workshop (2.5 hrs)

This workshop exercise will use emotion, music, and physicality to force you to communicate without speaking. During the three-minute song, participants will be asked to covey the Who, the Where and What of a scene by using only movement, feelings and object work. This is a performance based exercise that will provide helpful tips to improve your nonverbal communication.
