ONLINE WORKSHOP - Genre Club - Spy Action

Taught by Peter More

This edition: Spy Action

We'll focus on action movies centred around the world of international espionage. This shows the glamourous, high tech, death-defying side of the spy business as exemplified by…James Bond, Jason Bourne and anyone that’s gone on a Mission: Impossible.

Suitable for intermediate improv players.

‶The first rule of Genre Club is you tell everybody!″

We’ll look at…

• Ways of performing: acting style, staging, character choices.
• Content: typical story arcs, common types of scene
• Background: a little about the genre, time period, etc, to understand why it is what it is and to know what would fit in and what would not feel like part of the genre.
• Practical: We'll look at ways applying this to improvisation in particular for a modern audience.
• Movies, shows and plays you should watch to understand this genre better.

The workshop will be both theoretical (with analysis and discussion) and practical, with a chance to try scenes in the style with coaching from an expert.
