GUEST WORKSHOP: 'WHAT MAKES GOOD LONG-FORM?'
STUDIO BEE, FARADAY STREET, MANCHESTER
As well as joining us to perform at Walrus, Stephen Sim will also be running this fantastic workshop - 'What Makes Good Longform.'
​
Steve is an improviser with over 30 years of experience, this session offers clear, practical guidance through the complexity of long-form structures. Longform can feel like a mystery, but it doesn’t have to. In this workshop, he’ll help you break down the essential components of strong longform work: from seamless transitions and grounded narrative choices to what truly makes a scene land. You’ll explore the mechanics behind great longform and learn how each element contributes to compelling ensemble play.
​
Whether you’re looking to tighten your scenework or deepen your understanding of form, this workshop will help you build confidence and connection. Don’t be intimidated, be curious, creative, and ready to level up.

"Anyone thinking about taking Stephen's class - do it! You won't regret it" - Scott Angus
