Workshops

The Collab:Lab

3 Days of playful Collaboration, 2 Shows, 1 unique experience

This year, our festival is centered around the topic of Connection & Collaboration. That's why, even before the regular workshops, we have the Collab:Lab! Five performers from five different countries will come together over three days, under the guidance of Lisa Rowland (San Francisco, USA), to create a show and perform it at the festival. How does collaboration work? How do you get to know each other and build trust quickly? What do you want to tell? What is your show?

The Collab:Lab is aimed at professional improvisers.

Conditions of participation

Until July 31st you can cancel your workshop spot and we will refund your festival fee minus an administrative fee of 30 Euros. If you cancel your spot after July 31st, we can only refund your participation fee minus the administrative fee of 30 Euro if we can fill your place - you are also welcome to suggest a person.

Liability
No liability can be accepted for self-inflicted accidents, wardrobe, damage to property and lost items.

Level

The level system helps us building homogeneous workshop groups to ensure that everybody gets the most out of their workshop experience. Please make an honest and self-critical assessment of which level best suits you. We reserve the right to cancel bookings whose level does not match the stated level of the workshop.

1. Experienced

I rehearse with an ensemble on a regular basis, and have experience performing improvisation on the stage. I have participated in some impro workshops.

2. Advanced

I perform regularly on stage and I rehearse on a regular basis with a fixed ensemble. I have been involved in introducing performance formats to the place where I primarily improvise, either by developing these or by introducing these from elsewhere. I’ve introduced others into improvisation, either through beginner training or mentoring newer players in an ensemble.

3. Professional

I perform regularly on stage and I rehearse on a regular basis with a fixed ensemble. I have developed formats and presented these formats in cities outside of the one I’m based in. I have a professional approach to my improvisational work. I’ve developed others in improvisation, by offering advanced training on multiple occasions, or by coaching ensembles.

For the little ones, so the big ones can play

The structure of the service will be tailored according to the age of the registered children. Here are the conditions:

Your child is four years old or older.
We will only provide care during workshop times.
If you only want to use the service for part of the workshop time, you can also book a half-day time slot.
We offer a total of four time slots for childcare (Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning).
Cost: €25 per time slot -> full workshop time: €100.

If you would like to book childcare, first book your desired workshop on Yesticket. In the confirmation email, there will be a link to a form.
