OIJ Workshop C: Building Meaningful Stage Pictures

Break out of the improv semicircle! The "stage picture" — how the actors are arranged onstage — has a powerful effect on the audience. The audience may not hear every word of dialog, but they know what they see. That stage picture makes an audience *feel* the story, the relationships, and the world unfolding onstage. This two-hour workshop will give you the tools you need to improvise dynamic and engaging stage pictures. Make story choices inspired by your stage picture. Make stage pictures that support your story. Make scenes that the audience won’t dare look away from! Wear comfortable shoes

Lead By: Peter Rogers

Peter began improvising at the Hideout Theatre in 2000. Since then, he’s directed narrative longform shows, written extensively about improv production, and taught workshops in Austin, Alaska, and the UK. He still likes nothing better than making improvisors feel inspired and at ease, whether they’re on stage or in the booth. He teaches at the Improv Embassy and is the Mainstage Producer at Wayward Improvised Theatre. His current hobbies include languages, ttRPGs, gardening, and playing lots of instruments poorly.
