Dirty Roden World: Improvising Film Noir
You are on a stage and you are doing theatre. So act like you mean it. Learn to use genre and tone to create a wealth of possible worlds to set your scenes in, and gain the tools to make sure you’re always clearly seen and heard while you make the magic happen. In this workshop, each student will also work on creating a plan for their own fully improvised production that will incorporate set design, costumes, sound and lighting design, and more - just like the award-winning productions
