Improvising Between the Lines

There's always something happening in the quiet parts of a scene.  And that something, whatever it may be, is usually exactly what the scene is really about.  But many of us aren't comfortable with being quiet onstage.  We tend to freak out in those empty spaces.  This workshop is all about cultivating that quiet, befriending subtext, and finding the pleasure and surprise in leaving things (mostly) unsaid.
