Accepting the weird
Participants: Level 2
Instructor: Ingvild Haugstad from Oslo, Norway
The workshop will be taught in English
Duration: 12 hours
Improv is fun! Except sometimes it gets all serious - you know the feeling – when the brain starts channelling our actions along beaten pathways. Talky scenes, stories that go the same way, second-guessing ourselves. You know who doesn't worry about that? Kids!
In this workshop Ingvild will share insights gained through years of improvising for and with kids to help us reimagine our boundaries of what we can do onstage. We will draw on the natural playfulness and acceptance we all had in our childhood. Through exercises and scenes focused on letting your natural instincts be your guide, we'll come out the other side with a new - a childlike - idea of what a scene can be.
Workshop factors: a balance of Active and Reflective
