John Gebretatose (USA)
This improv workshop focuses on emotions as a focal tool to help free your brain from stressing out over what to do or say. We will use emotions as a compass to start scenes and also as a way to create momentum and energy to move your scenes along with the direction. Emotions are a universal language. Use them to add truthfulness, clarity, power, and depth.
