Death, Dying, and Bereavement: An Improvised Journey

Ever found yourself on stage in a death scene and stalled? Unsure how to approach these difficult subjects? Want to bring more pathos to your improv? Then this is the workshop for you. 

In this workshop, we will examine our relationships with the end of life, how we can represent these relationships truthfully onstage, and how we can treat our fellow players and audiences with compassion and humour while approaching these tough topics. There will be some in-depth discussion of death, dying, and cultural and religious attitudes to bereavement, which we will use as inspiration for introspective, open-hearted improv.
Participants should be prepared to discuss both religious and non-religious aspects of death culture. This may be emotionally challenging. 

We will discover together what death and bereavement mean for you, and how you can realistically portray end-of-life scenes in front of an audience.

Fri, June 5, 10 am – 1 pm
