Improvisation Workshop

A snapshot from our last Improvisation Acting workshop:

The same object becomes all sorts of things in various scenarios with the imagination and performances of group members. An Object Challenge sets off our improvisation and one’s improvisation inspires another… Group improvised scenes were definitely a highlight of the workshop … you need to accept whatever is happening, ‘no negotiation’, let everything affect you and be creative with choices and instincts. Things can go wrong… you might have decided to conduct the plot like this only to find out the next second another actor is pulling it to an opposite direction…But you co-create stories, laugh and experience excitement exactly in being creative and let the drama unfold.

Improvisation allows actors to find ‘free spaces within the framework, within the given constraints so that individual creativity can unfold...’ (Roberto Ciulli, director). No surprise that seasoned actors value the importance of taking improvisation training. Improvisation frees up the performer's mind so as to be more creative with choices and instincts. It's a practical skill to master widely useful for auditions and performances. It also proved beneficial to exploring oneself, building confidence and developing creative and social intelligence.

Suitable for different levels of experience and beginner-friendly!
