Whether you're performing a specific form like the Harold, or a montage, group scenes are key. This workshop will help you quickly and clearly establishing patterns in group games by focusing on bold individual moves and swarming group support. From the straight forward and math-y to the absurd, spontaneous and organic, we'll work on building group games from nothing and looking like you're on the same page with your team whether you've been improvising together for years, or just met for the first time. Though we'll focus on group games, the tools you'll pick up in this workshop will strengthen your overall scene work.
