Performance 2: World Building - Term 6 2026 - Monday
Congratulations, your stand alone scenes are refined! Now it's time to learn how to connect scenes meaningfully in a shared world and cohesive piece of theatre.
You'll learn how to create satisfying characters and gratifying arcs and many of the tools that allow us to expand a single suggestion into 30 minutes of material.
Once we have first beats down, we'll work on ways to bring themes, games and characters back in our second and third beats.

Instructor Profile
James Collopy
James Collopy is a comedian, improviser, and multi-disciplinary artist & designer.
James had his first improv class on his 25th birthday in what he was certain at the time would be 'a nice hobby for the winter'. Many years and countless shows, sketches, standup sets and short films later, he is starting to worry that his hobby has gotten away from him. James has directed, tech designed for, written and starred in numerous shows including his own debut solo sketch show, 'Telly' in 2022.
In his practice as a designer, James enjoys mixing physical and digital media, both new and old. He also writes music, loves character comedy and has a passion for dramatic storytelling even though he finds reading books pretty difficult.
James can be seen performing at TIC alongside VHS and the cast of The Remix
