DIF Workshop - Hyper-Play, Switch Committee (Ringwald)
Hyper-Listening Everything, from the moment you walk into the theatre, to the closing scene, is fair game for mining information and cultivating your scene work. We'll explore the art of listening with complete intention, free of mental roadblocks, allowing you to build meaningful relationships and themes. Think Fast / Play Slow Keeping a running list of everything while it's happening, is vital to the success of callbacks and following themes. Quickly cataloging while on stage and on the sidelines allows for scenes and themes to marinate longer, providing you and the audience with bigger payoffs. Think Fast / Play Faster Jump out of the airplane without a parachute and trust that your teammates will be there for you. This style of play will add to the dynamics of the piece, and allow for some frenetic play to erupt, taking your scene to new, undiscovered places. As Del said, "Follow the fear."
The boys of Switch enjoy hanging out, talking about everyday things, and slapping each other around. These real-life tendencies have directly impacted their improvised form; a modified Living Room that opens with honest discussion stemming from audience suggestion. From there, nothing is off limits. The boys play fast and physical; climbing on each other, using each other as objects and giant fight scenes are common in shows. Nothing is ignored as they constantly push the scenes and each other throughout the show. There is no time for rest when Switch performs because their edits are soft and transformational, using the physical position, line or idea in the current scene to jump-start the next. It is with trust and love that Switch plays and by the end of the show, the boys will be exhausted and covered in sweat and the audience will have experienced a full, physical and outlandish piece of improvisational art.
