Stage thématique - Montrer plus, expliquer moins - 06/12

This workshop focuses on character performance and gives us time to create powerful images that bring theatricality to our improv. We’ll work on physicality and emotion to show what our characters are experiencing rather than explain it through language.

As improvisers, we tend to explain a lot out loud to clarify the situation among ourselves and help us move the story forward together. Of course, we need to be clear about what is happening in order to build a shared narrative, but the risk is that we sometimes overexplain. Our characters then stop really experiencing things.

Here, we’ll take the time to be affected by what’s happening and show it to our scene partners and the audience, rather than say it. We’ll also see how using fewer words doesn’t prevent us from understanding what’s happening between our characters. A hand resting on a shoulder or averted eyes can say more than a long speech.

This workshop is open to people with some prior experience in theatrical improvisation.

Led by Romain Afonso.
