Leaning into Contrast - intensive improv workshop
Details
Leaning into Contrast
with Georgi Chulkov
In life we understandably want to reduce tension and resolve conflict, but on stage it is often more useful to do the opposite - to lean into it and heighten it. In this workshop we will deliberately create contrast and double down on it as a way to heighten the emotion of a scene. Without reason or justification, we can follow the contrast to its peak, and only resolve it at the very end. It's a great way to put focus on the emotion and relationship between two characters in a scene that would otherwise seem to be about nothing.
About the teacher
Georgi has been passionate about improv since discovering it in 2017. He founded The Blue Couch improv group a year later, where he serves as creative director and regularly performs longform shows. He has had the opportunity to learn from improv legends including Susan Messing, Inbal Lori, Joe Bill, and others. In 2024 he co-founded Edge Improv Lab in order to share his experience with others in Munich, as well as The Mind Meld, a platform that enables improvisers from different local groups to play together. You can also find him every year at the Sofia Improv Festival.
