Workshop "Small Time Criminals" with Chris Mead

Chris Mead is back in Vienna. Many still remember his epic shows and workshops he was visiting us in May 2023 with his duo Partner Katy Schutte.

In this workshop we will be inspired by the work of the Coen Brothers (The Big Lebowski, Fargo). Enter a world of eccentric lowlifes, greedy nobodies and criminal masterminds that believe their own hype. It’s a world where violence lurks around every corner and no-one is ever exactly what they seem.
We’ll be looking at the following transferable improv skills:

• Playing unlikeable people
• Quick fire dialogue and conversely almost silent scenes
• Putting gory violence on stage in a safe and workable manner
• Unreliable narrators
• Telling a story full of double and triple crosses with elegance and simplicity

Everyone dreams big, but we don’t all get to live big, do we?
