Magical Realism Across The Universes
with Omar Galván
A workshop that will elevate your body and blow your mind.
Embark on a journey where you'll immerse yourself in the physical, surreal, poetic, and theatrical world of Latin American improvisation through practice. You'll acquire tools that will enhance your stage performance: scene editing, musical poetry of the body, and the gesture bridging acting and dance.
At the end of the workshop there will be a student showcase.
Number of participants: 6-16
Level: Ideal for all levels of experience.
This workshop will be held in Italian with English interpretation.
10-HOUR WORKSHOP
Great Minds Think Alike
with Marta Borges
In this workshop we will invest in creating a connection and a group mind among participants. Our aim is to have a group that knows its flow and quickly follows each other's pace, to find intuitively and creatively the opportunities to create and edit scenes.
We will start off with movement exercises that will get everyone improvising choreographies through mirroring and transformation (a physical expression of “Yes And”, and not necessarily a verbal one).
We will then explore how to turn organic transformations into "real" scenes, looking for connections and relationships, and then going back again into group metamorphosis using sound and movement.
Listening, trusting and following body impulses (individually and as a team), creating patterns with a group mind, discovering new positions and characters on stage, not from the brain but through movement, are the focal points of this workshop and we will create wonderful scenes by working together.
At the end of the workshop, we will play and perform together the amazing "TRIP" format, to showcase our work.
Join us for this intense, revealing and fun workshop!
Number of participants: 6-16
Level: Ideal for all levels of experience.
The workshop will be in English, but if there is a demand, it may also be offered with Italian interpretation.
8-HOUR WORKSHOP
Exploration of Poetic Bodies
with Alice Rey
The body as an impulse of play and scenic poetic imprint
Starting from bodily expression as a tool to unleash the text, the intention is to find freedom by following the body’s impulse and letting go, thus being present in oneself and with others. Being aware of our bodies can help us be more conscious of how the roles we play in a scene are viewed. A stronger physical awareness helps us to embody our characters, bringing to life socio-political dimensions, power dynamics and relationships through our presence and physicality.
This workshop will put emphasis on the experimentation of tools, codes, and sensations as nourishment for organic and corporeal improvisations. Through various games and scenes, the goal is to dare to express oneself through the body and sharpen one's listening, in order to be more present in the moment and with one's partners.
Objectives:
Experiment the scene through movement and bodily surrender
Raise awareness of one's body and find stakes at the heart of the games
Gain confidence in the power of contact and sensation
Number of participants: 6-14
Level: At least one year of improv experience.
5-HOUR WORKSHOP
FLOW
Feel It, Love It, Own It, Work It!
with Monica Gaga
Flow is a practical workshop designed to empower you to level up your improv so you feel it, love it, own it and work it.
During the workshop you will look at: preparing, what you can do to put yourself in the mind/physical space for improv; checking in with yourself, to ensure throughout all is good with you; utilising blocks (you’re in charge with what happens next), no mistakes just lessons, no blocks just gifts; and self-censorship, allowing you to do your type of improv without harming or holding back.
At the root of it improv is supposed to be fun (fun is of course defined differently for everyone) and this workshop will help you find the fun through it all. So you can feel it, love it, own it and work it.
Number of participants: 8-16
Level: Ideal for all levels of experience.

Stagecraft for Improv
with Jodyanne Fletcher Richardson
Improv is storytelling, engaging the audience, drawing them into the world you create whilst simultaneously offering it out to them. A beautiful flow of energy around the stage, through the fourth wall and into the auditorium. In this workshop we will be looking at the basics of stagecraft for: projection, physicality, owning the space, working collaboratively, and making bold choices. How to use the tools of the body to your best advantage.
Aimed at giving improvisers a solid base in performance techniques to engage their audience and allow their improvisation to shine.
Number of participants: 4-16
Level: Ideal for all levels of experience.
3-HOUR WORKSHOP
Play Fast
with Pedro Borges
In this workshop we will work on techniques that will make participants explore ways to play fast-styled impro: establishing a solid and safe starting scene, finding scene changes that make the action go forward, playing multiple characters within the same space, doing quick flashbacks and flashforwards that add important information about characters, playing double-layered scenes, applying callbacks in the right time, creating unique characters that can be easily distinguished and remembered for later use. And... we'll have a lot of fun!
Number of participants: 4-16
Level: Ideal for all levels of experience.
