Platform and Tilts

THE WORKSHOP

Every scene starts by creating a foundation from which we build on. This is the Platform, the stability. Advancing the scene, or moving the story forward, is created by altering one or more characters. This is tilting, creating an instability.

In this workshop we will explore how to create, and what is needed in, a platform and how and when to tilt.

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.
