The Beat

Presented by Laura Buskes of The Improv Conspiracy (Melbourne/Naarm) as part of the Big Fork Comedy Festival 2025.

The Beat is all about action moments beyond the dialogue. This workshop will explore how we can combine authentic responses with acting skills, and take your performances to new heights. We’ll work with physical offers, stage pictures, tone and sometimes even silence.

Workshop Length: 3 hours

Recommended experience level: Intermediate (1-3 years experience)
