WORKSHOP - Archetype/Stereotype with Jason Geary
About
Tired of playing 'yourself' or the same old lazy stereotype? Ready to unlock characters that are not just hilarious, but deeply grounded and propel your scenes to a new level? Then get ready for the Archetype / Stereotype. This isn't just about making funny choices; it's about giving those choices real muscle. In this electrifying workshop, you'll master the art of reverse engineering, transforming a split-second surface idea into a complex, substantial character that ignites narrative strength. We'll challenge you to create incredible depth, teaching you how to tap into inner archetypes so your character choices serve the story in ways you never thought possible. Level up your stage game—all you need is a basic foundation in improv, and a hunger to create truly unforgettable characters!About Jason Geary:
