Stacey Hallal's Dynamite Dynamics

What it's about

What do the words dynamite and dynamics have in common? The root DYNA - which means power. Often, when people refer to POWER IMPROV they mean fast, hard, loud, and unrelentingly funny. This is definitely a powerful way to play…sometimes. But sometimes the most powerful way to play is slow, soft, silent, or poignant. Master improvisers know how to play a full range of energies and when to apply them to their characters, scenes, and the stories they tell. In this workshop, you will learn how to build and harness your own improv superpowers to play within a dynamic range - physically, verbally, and emotionally. Whether your improv journey has recently begun, or you are a seasoned improviser, this workshop will power up your improv to the next level.
