When Noir works, it explodes with Character Chemistry. Do you find your characters sizzle with the other characters in the story? Here’s a chance to dig into that. A great playground for character-based work, Noir often follows Keith Johnstone’s suggestion: get the main character into trouble and make it worse, and who makes things worse? – often other people.

We’ll work on making strong connections, and, because Noir is a genre with heat, tension and humor, we’ll practice taking risks, being charming, making banter and provoking to the boiling point. This one-night workshop will touch on some noir story fundamentals: heists and capers, doomed lovers and finding the fly in the web. Come play in the shadows!
