Movement from the Inside Out - creating movement that conveys your intention and emotion to the audience so that they are with you before you even say a word.
Longer Blurb:
So much emotion is stored in the body. When you tap into that well of stored knowledge suddenly your characters develop a richness, a fullness, and a realness that you just didn't have access to before. In this virtual world of improv movement is even more important to bridge the gap between your screen and your audience. Jessica Arjet teaches you how to get in touch with your body and listen. You’ll find which parts of your body send you which signals, how to breath into your emotion for more honest reactions, how to be open to the audience so they know what you are thinking before you do, and how to integrate your body with your improv so present whole, authentic people on the screen. You will push your improv into deep, but deeply exciting places with this workshop. It’s not just a movement workshop, but learning to move from the inside out.
