About the event
Who are you? Who, who? Who, who? with Jonny Nelson
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Ever stuck as to what to do or talk about in a scene? This workshop focuses on developing the "who" as the answer to that problem. When you know the template of the character, your wants, point of view, and who you are, then you will no longer feel lost trying to figure out the scene. This workshop teaches you to focus on developing strong characters as a way to navigate scene work.
