Please note – this workshop can be quite difficult at times. In addition to encouraging things you do on stage that are working, Dr. Brown is also there to point out when something is NOT working. With the acceptance of failure, you can learn to be more open and vulnerable in front of a group of strangers. If you do not respond positively to admitting failure, this workshop may not be for you. When you are ready to LAUGH at your failure, the work can begin. This and your sensitivity to an audience, will help expose how stupid and ridiculous you (and only you) can be.
