Long lost twins? Business empires crushed? Love affairs revealed? It all happens in Guilty Pleasures: Improvised Soaps!

In this three day workshop you’ll learn our Guilty Pleasures format: three non-consecutive improvised soap opera episodes, each inspired by a suggestion from the audience. We’ll work on:

-The types of characters, relationships, and tropes in a typical American soap

-Playing with scene structure and creating separate narratives within an episode

-Using movement to enhance and punctuate dialog
