A good story requires appealing characters. Characters who will not only be multidimensional and relatable, but also characters who evolve and change throughout their stories. We don’t stay the same, so why should our characters? From good to better, from bad to worse, from good to evil, from evil to good, evolution is the key to an engaging character. But it’s not easy to create a character like that from the top of our head, while
juggling with directing, writing and set design our show and at the same time not falling into the trap of creating the same types of stereotypical characters over and over again. During this workshop we will work on some tools to create unique and memorable characters (physicality, emotions, object work and more) , we will blur the line between good
and evil to create complicated characters with depth and get you out of your comfort zone.
