Description

Step onto the stage as yourself and discover that everything you need to create bold, honest, and unforgettable characters is already within you. From the Inside Out is a beginner friendly workshop that helps you build characters rooted in your own truth, transforming what’s real and felt into what’s rich and alive onstage.

Through playful, on your feet exercises, you’ll learn to listen inward, follow your instincts, and shape authentic emotion and physicality into expressive, dynamic characters. This is a space of curiosity, openness, and courage: where your genuine self becomes the spark for creative transformation.

You’ll leave the workshop with:

Characters that grow organically from your own experiences and imagination
Tools to tap into your inner truth and bring it to life with freedom and flow
Greater confidence performing authentically—on stage, as you are

From the Inside Out is about trusting that your lived experience, your humor, and your heart are not just enough they’re your greatest creative source. Every character begins with you.
