This workshop is geared toward helping you find what the scene is about in roughly the first three lines of dialogue. Focusing on reading not only your scene partners' line of dialogue, but how they said it. Attacking not only the scene, but the emotion that surrounds it. Finding the layers in a scene that are not only lines of dialogue but body posture, emotion and the true weight of the scene. We can find this together.
