About this Event
In the final section of our workshop series, we will tie all of our previous work together to perform improv scenes with attention and support using clear characters and strong emotional choices. This will leave participants with a new confidence in their ability to communicate scripted work naturally and confidently.

This four-part workshop series taught by David James Hamilton will explore how the fundamentals of improv comedy can be applied to scripted acting. We will explore active listening, confident communication, character development, emotional decision making, and long-form improv scene work to build new skills that participants will be able to apply to every aspect of their acting careers—from stage to screen to auditions.
