Strong scene starts require quick thinking, active listening and self-discipline! It’s easy to start off rough, miss offers and go from 0 to shouting when everyone’s worried about having to have a clever idea or being wrong or stuck in vague town.

In this workshop we play with different ways to start scenes, how to observe and support each other and how to make strong choices to get open scenes off and running. 

This workshop is suitable for anyone with formal improv training.
