Laser Focus Workshop
with Chris Fair (Chicago) Saturday, February 15 1:30pm - 3:30pm (Appropriate for improvisers of all skill levels) |
About the Workshop
Chris Fair's "Laser Focus" workshop concentrates on visualizing details, physicality, emotion and reaction of your characters. Not you, your characters that you're going to draw! Why should you take this workshop though? It's unique, challenging and fun especially when we break out the LASERS!!! Participants will eventually be drawing their characters and detailed choices on a laser reactive screen like a futuristic puppet while voice acting their creations just like Chris does in his Laser Comedy Show. That's where focusing on details and emotional/physical purpose and reactions really comes in handy to build your laser comedy scene together one line at a time. It doesn't matter if you are a good artist or not, you can create an emotional and mesmerizing adventure about a squiggly line with a 2 dots and a semi-circle. ~~~~ (: "This workshop helped me think more visually about scenes and characters." - Anonymous "This workshop helped me visualize characters and worlds we create in new ways!" - Steve Horton "Draw your yes/and!" - Tina M. |
