There's something happening in the negative space of a scene, in the quiet when no one's talking or seemingly doing anything. And that something, whatever it may be, is arguably what the scene is really about. But many of us aren't comfortable with that space. We tend to freak out when things get quiet.
This workshop is all about cultivating the negative space of your scene work, finding pleasure and surprise in leaving things unsaid, and in leaving room for your audience to be the artistic collaborators they really are.
PREREQUISITE: Intermediate Improv at Crossroads or equivalent at another improv training location. You will have an opportunity to detail your experience in the registration form. Anyone found not to meet prerequisite will be removed and refunded.
ABOUT LOUIS KORNFELD: Louis Kornfeld began improvising way back in 2003, when both his phone and online presence were at the forefront of millennium culture. He's been a proud member of the Magnet Theater since it opened its doors, having logged countless hours as a performer, intern, house manager, member of 'The Boss,' Megawatt director, and (for the past fifteen years) teacher of improvisation. What can he say? He loves it. In addition to improv, Louis is also an award winning writer and actor whose work is routinely featured on 'The Truth' podcast. Check it out, why don't you? You can see him performing every Sunday night with the great Rick Andrews in 'Kornfeld & Andrews.' They have some short videos online you might enjoy. He thinks you're doing great.
