Performance 2: World Building - Term 4 2026 - Tuesday

This class serves as your introduction creating long form connected pieces of theatre – for your first taste, we'll focus on how to establish characters and story arcs that lead to exciting and satisfying shows!

Congratulations, your stand alone scenes are refined! Now it's time to learn how to connect scenes meaningfully in a shared world and cohesive piece of theatre. 

You'll learn how to create satisfying characters and gratifying arcs and many of the tools that allow us to expand a single suggestion into 30 minutes of material.

Once we have first beats down, we'll work on ways to bring themes, games and characters back in our second and third beats.
