Characters! They're more than just funny voices - they are like each of us but living in heightened circumstances. In this workshop we'll be playing with the magical mundane - how does this character live in moments that are otherwise rather boring? Brushing their teeth, folding laundry, waking up late for school! By using intentional breath, we can bring characters to life in even the most boring of situations and hear just how they feel about that moment. Imagination will be our greatest tool so come prepared to see a crazy world in front of you, to laugh, play and have fun creating characters from simple sounds.
