CHRISTIAN CAPOZZOLI (NYC): INSTANT GAME

Building strong characters starts the moment your foot hits the floor, not the moment you start "thinking." This workshop will focus on the organic unfolding of a character based on that first step. More being…less thinking! Hone your ability to identify the game of a scene and blow it out to the Nth degree. All exercises are set to identify premise, celebrate a central game, and attack it as an ensemble. Give your gameplay the torque it needs and take this workshop.
