sustaining scenes
with rob norman
You’ve taken the suggestion – now it’s time to improvise a scene. Fun, right? Sometimes...
Sometimes your scene gets cut off too early or you’re left out there way too long. That’s a lot of stress, but scene work doesn’t have to be stressful. We’ll break down ways we can empower ourselves to initiate with clear offers and provide tools that you can use in your scenes tonight!
