The focus is on using the body to communicate clearly and find comedy without relying on words. Participants will work with simple props and everyday objects, learning how small physical choices, timing, and attention can turn ordinary moments into something funny and engaging. A key part of the workshop is how to invite the audience into the play — noticing consent, responding honestly, and building connection with care rather than forcing interaction. Through straightforward exercises and improvisation, performers develop confidence, awareness, and a stronger sense of play, making work that feels open, human, and genuinely connected to the people watching.
