SPIT
We’ve all been there: scenes where we’re stuck in a
non-stop argument that seems to be going nowhere!In this workshop, you’ll learn how to navigate conflict in
scenes with a focus on deepening the relationship,
moving the story forward, and discovering the truths
of the scene rather that two people yelling at each
other in a loop.
The aim of this workshop is to learn techniques thatmake our improvised fights intentional, meaningful,
and fun instead of stressful and torturous.
The next big thing!
