# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Improv Workshop — Physicalising Characters with Sam Foster
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Get out of your head and into your body!

Join award-winning performer, director, and movement specialist Sam Foster from Shock Therapy Arts for a one-off workshop exploring an ‘outside-in’ approach to character development, where physical choices become the starting point for discovering distinctive characters.

You’ll also explore how to switch rapidly and clearly between playing multiple characters by using distinctive physicality. Making physical changes in your body can help an audience instantly recognise who is who — without needing to explain it.
And because physicality and comedy make very good friends, Sam will throw some physical comedy into the mix, too.
