Dominique will explore the idea of "doing it for the plot" - making bold choices for a more exciting and memorable story - and share practical ideas for creating characters and stories that come to life around an audience.

About Dominique

Over the last 3 decades of her very strange life, Dominique Vyborna has developed a unique skillset for building the inner life of an Immersive Character, creating their costume, developing their story world and narrative context, and then performing as that character for several hours at a stretch in environments where people are not expecting to be entertained.

Join us online on YouTube Live, or in the building on Friday 25th September at 13:00 for the talk and to take part in the Q&A discussion afterwards.
