You've Got Character: Commitment is Key
This workshop deals with character work. The reason many character driven scenes don't work is because the commitment is lost halfway through and you lose the audience. Learning to do a character and stick with it is the focus. If you believe you're a dinosaur, the audience will too. About Elke: Hello, my name is Elke Reid and I've been doing improv for 9+ years. I've been and am currently on several indie improv teams who have had runs at The People's Improv Theater (The PIT) in New York City and performed in the Del Close Marathon. And I've also been apart of and taught at several improv and sketch festivals on both coasts of the US. Currently I teach drama to elementary school students. And I do private coaching for indie sketch and improv teams. It all comes down to the simple fact that, I love improv. It's "freestyle acting" and I enjoy the challenge of performing without a script or knowledge of what's to come. I'm such an improv nerd.
