The Big Picture / Ella Galt

🏢 Venue TBC (but in London)
🕥 Sunday 22nd March 2026, 11am - 5pm (with 1 hour for lunch)
💰 £120 

Symmetry, depth, perspective- all words one might associate with a painting more than an improv performance, yet these elements are what make up our world, and are what the audience see when they watch your show.

The images we present to the audience affect how they interpret our work, while the physical choreography informs everything from a character's emotional perspective, to the action of the scene itself.

In this workshop, we will explore how the content of each scene can inform its physical presentation and work with levels and body positioning, distance, stage craft and alternative performance spaces to build scenes that are vibrant, multi-dimensional and expressive.

Go beyond space work to unlock the beautiful work of art inside your scene.
