Stick with It

 In this 4-week session, students will learn tools to quickly tap into a character and sustain it through a character interview game. The first 3 classes will focus on skill-building and getting reps in – they will include utilizing genre tropes as a starting point, committing to a point of view, and adding vocal and physical distinctions. For our final class, we will record an interview panel show with a special guest host!
