Mixed-Team COSTUME DRAMA
Corsets, candlelight, and emotional chaos. From Jane Austen to Bridgerton, we love stories filled with longing glances, social rules, and dramatic tension. In this workshop, we explore how to bring these intense worlds to the improvisation stage while keeping things fun, true, and alive. It can be easy to feel stuck in literary genres, so we'll explore how to get out of our own heads, make exciting narrative decisions, and create messy, funny, flesh-and-blood characters that everyone cares about. Using period drama as inspiration rather than a limitation, we'll create scenes that feel rich, cinematic, and deeply human. The way characters move, breathe, and interact with the spaces around them can tell us everything we need to know about power, chemistry, and the complex worlds they inhabit. Through physicality, status, and spatial relationships, we'll build exciting scenes full of love, conflict, and intrigue.
Expect bold characters, big emotions, and delicious drama — all improvised in the moment.
