Power of Silence

Improvisers all over the world have one thing in common. They all talk too much on stage. We can see the potential in building tension when we start to use silence as a tool. Silence and less words in general can not only add to the intensity of the scenes, it can activate the audiences imagination and engages them to be more invested in the scene. This workshop explores techniques to help inspire your scenes to be more efficient and effective with less words, more emotions, and the potential to spark the audiences minds.

Trainer: International Improvisation Legend Lee White (The LoriLees, 15 Minutes of Fame, The Marbelles, Clever, CRUMBS, D&D improv show) has traveled the world teaching, performing and learning for over 30 years. Working with the best of the best of Improv from all over the world Lees influence can be felt far and wide. After touring internationally with the legendary CRUMBS for 15+ years he has settled in Berlin and has made a huge impact on the cities improv scene. His charm, quick wit, and commitment to honest characters has set him apart from the rest. His ability to make you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time), makes him one of improvs most treasured performers.
