About the Course

Do you find it hard to access different characters? Do you find yourself playing the same characters over and over again? In Character: Be Somebody, we will learn tools to quickly choose and embody a variety of complex characters and maintain them throughout our scenes. This 12-week course will delve deeply into the many ways to access character, how to utilise them in a scene with others, and give you the time and space to practice making strong choices and sticking to them. This course helps students perfect the who of their improv scenes.
