Overview: 


An energised and playful workshop exploring how movement, rhythm and tension generate comedy. We examine how physical choices create status, urgency, and delight, and how even subtle physical shifts can transform a scene.

Through elemental work, tension scales and animal study, we’ll explore how character emerges from the body rather than the intellect.
 

Who is this for?

• Improvisers – seeking stronger stage presence and more dynamic physical choices

• Stand-ups – looking to sharpen act outs, vary rhythm and use physical shifts to heighten punchlines.

• Character & Clown Performers – who want to explore tension, status and physical rhythm.

• Actors & Physical Creatives – who want to expand their physical vocabulary, unlock comic timing and build characters from the body outward.

​

What To Expect:

• Levels of Tension and how a shift in physical urgency can reshape a scene.
• Elemental and animal studies to unlock ridiculous and bold physical instincts.

• The Stop, the Double Take, and Suspension as rhythm tools.
• Leading with different body parts to create instant character shifts
• Playing urgency, awkwardness and status physically.
• High-energy scene work integrating these in real time.
 

Outcome:
 


You will leave with:

• A sharper instinct for comic rhythm.
• Increased physical confidence on stage.
• Clearer, bolder character choices.
• An ability to generate laughs through tension and release.
• A stronger relationship between body and punchline.
