No lesson plans. Instead, the focus is on pinpointing the individual students’ tendencies. Find out what your strengths are and where you could explore further. Working in a non-stop series of short, quick scenes, you will learn what your patterns are and how to break them through personalized challenges. Maximized stage time guaranteed. Great for beginners who want to develop new skills and for professionals who want to keep fresh.

成关系 (Why Relationships Matter!) | Timothy Yeo

In Chinese culture, we often find ourselves somehow related. Aunty this, uncle that, grandma this, brother that. It often confuses foreigners because most of the time you're not even related by blood. 

Yet, it is this practice that makes us understand and build tight community. This often bleeds into our scenes in Asia, where we see many scenes weaving a tapestry of relationships into the stories we tell. 

In this workshop, we will focus on why relationships matter in the scene and how to dive deep quick into the meat of a relationship to make your audience feel a sense of kindred spirits. Through a blend of Chinese theatre exercises and improv exercises, we will work through drawing the guan xi between us and our characters and between the characters and the world created.

Timothy (he/him) got his start in improv in 2011 in the UK. He is one of the founders of Ask Auntie Productions that runs musical improv classes and manages ASAP Improv and Les Musicables, two of Singapore's premier improv teams.

A scenework workshop focusing on longevity in our scenes.

We'll focus on finding anchors in our scenework to help us dive deeper into character point of view and build characters with texture, that we can explore and play with for longer scenes. We'll focus on yes, and-ing our own choices, and delving deeper and finding the beauty in even the "smaller" details and choices we make in our scenes

Bianca Casusol

Bianca Casusol is a performer and teacher based in NYC, currently teaching at the Second City in Brooklyn. She's been lucky enough to teach at festivals across the country, The Magnet Theater, The People's Improv Theater, DSI Comedy Theater and The North Carolina Theater Conservatory and to learn from every person she's ever played with. When she's not doing make believe, she's turning children's short stories into sketches as a touring member of The Story Pirates or trying to pet every animal.

She was a founding member of the Kiss:Punch:Poem, which Time Out Chicago called, "a rare find, a show that mixes improv with spoken word to effects both uproarious and heartfelt". Her work has been featured on The Truth Podcast, Hot Mic with Dan Savage, Risk!, Bust Magazine, and Reductress.
