The Lost Art of Playing an Object & Background Work

Have you ever played a tree, someone’s hat or a cat’s tail? If the answer is no, then why not? That’s because the fantastic art of playing an object has faded from people’s game.

In this workshop we’ll work on techniques to help people play both inanimate and animate objects, from clocks to birds to portraits on the wall to trees, etc. The only limit is your imagination.

Do these objects talk? It depends on the scene and we’ll learn how to judge if an object should talk or not.

We’ll also work on entering a scene as either someone/thing in the background and entering the scene as an additional character to help heighten the scene and keep it moving forward.

This workshop is for advanced players who are comfortable with scene work. Prerequisite: completion of an Improv Program.
