About the Workshop
Feeling shy on the back line? Questioning whether your support moves are good enough? Not to worry! The first part of this workshop is all about stoking your creative furnace and drilling tags until they become second nature.
In the second part, we’ll take that explosion of ideas and focus them like a laser, working on second beat tactics like: blowing out the world, taking characters on a journey, cutaways and cutbacks, jumping to an unexpected POV, and more!
