OIJ Workshop D: Award Winning Moments

In this 2 hour workshop, explore character accusations and confessions, hopes, and feelings as theatrical responses to scene offers. Through asides and monologues, we'll discover relationship histories and future dreams to inform our partners and ourselves within scenes.

"What's in it for Me": Adding dimensionality to characters and relationships; Self-permission to make more substantial, impactful offers; Expanding your performing repertoire; Accessibility for those who are not quick responders.
