In this workshop with facilitator Martin Steger, students will learn practical tools they can use for fast-forwarding their scenes to the funny part. The workshop emphasizes effective initiations, signaling comedic ideas to scene partners, and keeping the audience engaged by avoiding an empty stage.

Topics covered in this workshop:

• Tools for initiating immediately after a suggestion or scene wipe

• Stagecraft that lets edits segue into initiations

• Language that makes tagouts clearer

• How to use matching characters (peas in a pod) for fast, funny scene starts

This workshop is useful for anyone who wants to play faster, make their initiations more clear, or hone tagout and editing skills. Because of the workshop’s subject matter and fast-paced, scene-heavy nature, it may also be a good fit for anyone looking to run a lot of scenes for general practice.
