Creating Behavior and Emotions in Character

This 2-hour workshop focuses on developing character behavior and expressing emotional points of view on stage. Students will use acting techniques, body language, and emotions to create rich and engaging characters. 

Instead of concentrating solely on storylines, we’ll emphasize how strong, committed characters can captivate an audience, making even mundane scenes compelling. Embodying specific personality traits will provide a framework for guiding your responses and a roadmap for the rest of the scene. 

Let’s get into it!
