If there's one thing Telenovelas are known for, it's for PASSION! Come have fun with the cast of Escándalo as they teach us improv with the melodrama twist! This workshop will start with fun games and playful scenes, then move on to discover different dynamics of relationships and how to get to an intimate scene. We will explore different types of relationships (couple, parent & child, siblings, etc.) while making sure to exercise pre-established boundaries. It's all about being comfortable, and all about having fun! Recommended for any level of improv experience.
