How to be A Villain

Learn how to anchor any story and heighten the stakes with a good heel turn. For improvisors and actors wanting to go deeper.

Most stories are only as good as their villains. Whether you are improvising long form stories or you’ve just been cast as the antagonist in someone else’s story … the villain is an immense opportunity to heighten the story, crystalize our hero, and draw the audience deeper into the world of the story. Besides, they’re usually more fun to play anyway. We will explore villains across different genres, and giving ourselves permission to take up a lot space.
