Room: Magazinboden Schlachthof
Instructor: Tanine Dunais
Title: PYSICAL IMPRO – (6 hours) Level B/English

PHYSICAL IMPRO

Free your body and minimise the reliance on dialogue.
In this worksop, we will work on various techniques in order to open the blocks that will help you use your body and environment to develop physical improvisation. You will be guided through exercises to learn to read the stage and work with music. You will also be introduced to simple clowning exercises to help you not only listen to your body and follow your physical impulses but also find the comedy and joy in that.

Tanine Dunais

is an Iranian improviser, currently living in the Netherlands. She started her improv journey at Dubai’s Courtyard Playhouse, and built her foundations with Johnstonian formats such as Maestro and Theatresports. She’s forever in the hunt for opportunities to perform in her native tongue, Persian, and to showcase more of her heritage and culture, on stage. During her explorations, she fell in love with expressing herself without the use of spoken language.
Her preferred modes of expression revolve around physical theatre, clowning, buffoonery, and puppetry.
Recently, she’s been digging deep into her experiences of performing as an expat, and is constantly working to find ways to help fellow improvisers bring their cultural and religious heritage to life, on stage.

SHORTGAMES

Jeder kennt sie, jeder liebt sie. Kurzformate sind „typisch” Improtheater und dennoch kann man sie nicht oft genug unter die Lupe nehmen. Kurzformate geben uns Struktur, fordern uns heraus und inspirieren. Jedes Strukturspiel hat einen Grund, warum es existiert. Diese und andere Existenzgründe werden wir gemeinsam erforschen und natürlich: spielen spielen spielen. Lasset die Short Games beginnen!

Workshop WARNING OF VERNÜNFTIGKEIT
(Level C/English) with Inbal Lori

When & Where

Fri. 16.9.2022  14:30-17:30 h
Sat. 17.9.2022  10:30-13:30 und 14.30-17:30 h
Sun. 18.9.2022  12:30 – 15:30 h

Room: Tanzraum Vorwärts
Instructor: Inbal Lori
Title: WARNING OF VERNÜNFTIGKEIT – (12 hours) : Level C/English

WARNING OF VERNÜNFTIGKEIT

Just because we live in a culture that is trying to do the reasonable thing, doesn’t mean we have to reasonably improvise. Just because our culture is focused on problem solving, it doesn’t mean we have to do the same on stage. Just because we make “mistakes” as improvisers don’t mean we need to punish ourselves in front of the audience. And just because improvisation has tools doesn’t mean you have to follow them like rules.
In this workshop we would focus on trying to be less reasonable and more daring as improvisers. Daring does not mean not paying attention, it shouldn’t mean not listening or reacting to your partner’s offers. What it means to me, is being daring while using the possibilities that develop as we play, so our story can go somewhere.
From my point of view, hesitation, vagueness, and unclarity are big obstacles in improvisation. We have to be clear with whatever we are suggesting, we have to be bold and confident even if we are not 100% sure what is going on, we have to take risks in order to make shit happen!
This workshop will give us effective tools for clarity, boldness and the courage to create stories and characters bigger than life.

Workshop SURFING THE MOMENT – FROM PLAY TO STORY
(Level B-C/English) with Steen Haakon Hansen

Fri. 16.9.2022  14:30-17:30 h

Room: Flamencoschule Martinita
Instructor: Steen Haakon Hansen
Title: SURFING THE MOMENT – FROM PLAY TO STORY (12 hours) : Level B-C/English

SURFING THE MOMENT – FROM PLAY TO STORY

To start with we will play games, fool around, all to get into a playful mood. After this, we will experiment and work on how to receive the first prompt as a present and honour it by letting it be the core of the coming narrative? We will also explore using acting techniques to create characters truthfully within their universe, cartoonish, realistic, or satire, what that moment calls for.
In the next part of the workshop, we will address how to create character instinctively and in the moment. And we will explore how we can stage these characters stories. We will also explore how we can tell the stories from different points of view. An example: A Pig-farmer tells his story, and then we hear what the pigs have to say.
In between, we will play and exchange experiences.

Steen Haakon Hansen
