Your performance is more than just words or a snazzy outfit. There are so many subtleties that elevate a set from good to great - from the way you say things, the rhythm of your voice, your stillness or movement and how you look at the audience.
In this workshop we take exercises from clown comedy to help us play with the rhythm of our performances and use fixed points to help punctuate what we do; enabling it have a bigger impact.
This is a comedy workshop using a number of improvised exercises to look at timing, connecting with the audience and understanding what's working. You don't need to bring any pre-written material with you.
