KCACTF Region 1 Conference 57

General, open to all. No person exists solely in stereotypes or emotional values. While it is easy to write off a stranger, coworker or acquaintance as being just a jerk, a sociopath, psycho, idiot, racist, control freak, from the perspective of a theater maker it makes for a boring, surfaced level rehearsal process. What makes our characters who they are? Why do they do the things they do? What do they want? What is getting in their way? How do they move thru the world? In this workshop, participants will be given a scene from a play and asked to unpack who the people in that scene are? We will look at objectives, obstacles and tactics to decipher how these characters navigate the world to get what they want.
