Description
Physicality Workshop with Rick Hall
This workshop will help connect your improv to your physical self, to avoid the dreaded “talking head” scenes. Rick will guide you in using your physical self to enrich your character work. You'll also work on creating physical environments and strong object work, to help your scenes have a stronger sense of location.
Rick got his start on the mainstage at Second City Chicago, and has taught improv all over the U.S. and Canada. He creates a supportive, fun environment where you'll feel safe to explore new ideas and expand your improv skills.
