A great actor can play anyone in any situation, but you don’t always see people lining up around the block to see the most critically adored actors. You usually see people lining up to see the stars with genuine charisma like Julia Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, George Clooney, Will Smith and The Rock, who in every role seem to be pretty much themselves and people fall in love with the character of them. That’s what makes them a star.
This week you will be drawing a certain character or characteristic from Elliott’s bag of characters, which you will use your charismatic improvisational skills to play throughout a series of 2-4 person open scenes! Don’t worry about trying to be Harrison Ford – it’s always you as Harrison Ford! Use yourself as inspiration for how you would play that character. Pay attention, because at the end of the drop-in we’ll sit down to guess who played what and those who successfully guess correctly will go in the hat at the end to win an amazing prize!
This workshop is suitable for beginners.
