    Improv is creating theatre live in the moment so we are wise to borrow skills from actors. The ability to connect emotionally with ourselves and our scene partners, to communicate to the audience and make them feel. Discover the freedom of playing from instinct and sensation, rather than thinking, as we bring awareness into our senses and really listen. We will slow right down and feel the emotional connection between you and your scene partner, giving space for the magic and subtext to arise and develop. These skills will help you feel liberated onstage, allowing you to work less hard to move your audience. Playing from the heart creates scenes that really spark. When we get out of our heads and into our senses, creativity flows easily and compelling connections emerge which may be joyously funny or deeply touching. Pedagogical objectives of the workshop: Emotional connection and awareness Slowburn Theatrically truthful acting Subtext

    Our body is our greatest resource onstage. It is our communication tool to the audience, to our partners and also to ourselves. So don't just be a talking head. Tune in to your body and let's move! Our embodiment drives how we feel, think and play. We’ll look at how to change your state of mind through the body - increasing your sense of power and calming nerves. Notice how your embodied patterns influence the choices you make and that by recognising them and trying new styles you can discover new perspectives. We’ll see how every body tells the story and how we can work together physically to make our stages more visually engaging. Discover how playing your whole instrument - not just relying on what comes out of your mouth - can expand your range, change your choices and really bring your improv alive.

    In improv we have the opportunity to be anyone or anything so let’s have fun with that! Discover lots of ways into characters from big and bold to subtle and intriguing. We’ll play with a toolkit of different acting techniques to become someone or something else, using voice, physicality and concepts to unleash your character range. If you know what your character wants, you'll know what they would do in any situation, whether you are playing a teapot or a president. We'll use tools and games to help you find points of view through internal and external traits. After this energetic and joyful workshop you’ll never be stuck playing the same few characters again

    Life is due to chance, and so is improvisation! Random is a pure form of improvisation show. Random is a playground for these grown-up children, the actors, and an open window into their imagination. Starting from scratch, actors and musicians embark on universes they discover and explore in front of you, based on spontaneously created scenarios. Our instant tightrope walkers walk on the threads of chance, allowing themselves to be carried away by the atmosphere of the moment, the music, the light, and the randomly placed stage elements. As the headliner of the Barcelona International Festival (BIG IF 2015), Random has had great success at international improv festivals in Leuven, Brussels, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Tampere, Dublin, and Amsterdam. Today, this format is performed by other companies and taught in different countries
