WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
In this workshop, improvisers explore character creation through Zero Point, an acting approach that begins by grounding the inner world before shaping the outer one. Rather than relying on voice, posture, or archetype alone, participants learn to connect to themselves, define clear internal stakes, and let authentic behavior emerge naturally. Through guided exercises and scene work, performers will discover how truth, vulnerability, and point of view create characters that feel alive, playable, and consistent in the moment.
