Armando Workshop with Joe Bill (USA)
February 9 @ 19:00 - 21:00
Joe Bill (USA) will teach you one of the most popular formats performed today, the Armando. Work on how to be successful in the 3 elements of the format, Personal stories (Source material), how to see different kinds of themes and inspiration in the source material, and then playing scenes that use the stories as inspiration. Finally we will look at the Armando as a form of Harold, where the scenes at first seem to be only related to the monologues, but as we bring them back, we discover the themes and stories that harmonize them.
