This workshop is all about harnessing tension for comedic effect. By utilizing tension and restraint over outright conflict in our scenes, we can delve deeper into our characters and create captivating interpersonal dynamics. If you're a fan of tactical silence, awkward exchanges, and unfulfilled wants, then you'll love this workshop!
