Get more comfortable doing long scenes through emotion and connection with your scene partners. Jeff Gyllen and Breanna Cecile work to find the reality and meaning in scenes when they perform as Squash Banana. In this workshop they will teach you some of the techniques they use to create believable relationships and emotional investment in longer scenes. If you have ever wanted to give a monoscene a try, this workshop is for you. If you enjoy an audience leaning in with rapt attention as much as when they are laughing, this workshop is for you. If you just want to dig in to see more meaning in the offers you give and receive in a scene, this workshop is for you.
