More or Less? Are you certain you know what the audience wants?

THE WORKSHOP

Can you hold an audience’s interest? Are you sure? More or Less is a format that answers that question and provides valuable insight. More or Less was created to develop skills in long form but without locking yourself into a story. To explore, question and discover if your narrative skills hold the audience’s interest pass one scene. When do they lose interest and why? In this workshop we will be working directing and narrative skills. There will be scenes, exercises and direct notes / feedback.

THE TEACHER

Patti is an actor, improviser, director, teacher, author and playwright who’s been working professionally in theatre since 1983. She served her theatre apprenticeship at the world renowned Loose Moose Theatre and was trained by Keith Johnstone.

She has an infectious enthusiasm for improvisation. Mix this with her insightful improvisation technique, strong narrative skill and her spirit of play, and it is no wonder she is responsible for inspiring many hundreds of people to improvise. Her understanding of Johnstone’s work and philosophy, combined with her own discoveries and her wealth of experience on the world impro stage, has made her a “must have” teacher for performers and companies wishing to create spontaneous theatre with fine skill, strong narrative, heart and elegant style.

Patti has taught and performed in North and South America, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, UAE and the Oceania region for numerous improvisation companies, festivals, and theatre schools and in the corporate arena.
