How to Play with Emotional Intelligence with Fernando A. Funes
How tuned in emotionally are you before a scene?
This workshop will teach you how to tap into you and your partner's emotions for a dynamic scene.
We’ll work on how to use Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to bring a deeper awareness to our relationships and revitalize our improv scenes.
Basically, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is our ability to read another person's emotional state while being aware of our own, and then responding and adjusting accordingly. EQ is something we use every day in how we interact with each other and how we manage the relationships that are important to us.
I realized that years of doing improv made me pretty good at reading people's emotions and reacting to them in a way that wasn't trying to change them or judge them, but to just accept them as they are and continue to interact from there.
I also gained a lot of insight on how to deal with personal relationships by engaging with the work of Carl Rogers, an American psychologist who coined the idea of Unconditional Positive Regard, the idea of accepting a person as they are (within the context of a therapist-client relationship).
In this workshop will be doing exercises that work on using our emotional intelligence muscles to be aware of our own emotions while reading the emotion of our scene partners, and how to use that relationship dynamic to create engaging scenes for everyone involved, players and audience alike.
