Deze cursus had helaas niet voldoende aanmeldingen om door te gaan op het beslismoment, inschrijven is dus niet meer mogelijk. 

Zie deze dag als een introductie in het theaterspel! Je maakt kennis met de basisprincipes van acteren, zoals verbeelding, improvisatie en samenspel. Het is de bedoeling dat je aan het einde van de dag op een leuke, speelse wijze kennis hebt kunnen maken met theater en theaterspel.

Wat gaan we doen?
We beginnen deze cursus met een fysieke warming up, met oefeningen voor je stem, je lichaam en het gebruik van de ruimte. Daarna werk je samen met de groep, in kleinere groepjes of in duo’s. Ook laten we aan elkaar zien waar we aan werken!

Let op: deze cursus wordt in het Engels gegeven. 

Unfortunately, this course had to be cancelled due to an insufficient number of registrations at the decisive moment a week prior to its planned start. 

This improv theatre daycourse focusses on two things:  
– Intimacy, boundaries and consent 
– Dramatic Improv 

Improv is often fun and games. But it can be way more personal, intimate and dramatic. To be able to play these deeper kinds of improv, you’ll need to trust your scene partners. 

What will we be doing? 

To get there all of the players need to be clear and respectful in boundaries and consent. So that’s what we’ll work on first. Then we’ll see how we can use these skills to play scenes where characters who care about each other get into all aspects of relationships, including intimacy and arguments. We’ll also work with scenes from a setup, as some know from the Dutch TV-series De vloer op. 

This lesson will give you tools to connect stronger with your fellow players and play scenes that go as deep as what you see in scripted theatre and film.

Do you love to sing? Do you love improv theatre? This day course brings the best of both worlds together!
Singing in improv theatre brings so much joy to everyone! There’s no better place to sing than on stage or in a rehearsal space with your fellow improvisors. And it’s easier than you might think. Everyone can do it.

What will we be doing?
In this day course you can top off your improv skills and amaze the crowd! We’ll sing a lot and work on expending our improv with songs the best way we can. We’ll be accompanied by a live pianist.
This course is open for anyone interested in improvised singing. You don’t need any singing or improv experience. Everyone can sing in improv. It does help if you can stick to a rhythm and it’s important that you enjoy to sing. Even if you just sing in the shower!
We’ll work on skills to make singing in improv easy and simple. You’ll practise rhyme and rhythm and learn some song structures. You’ll learn that you can find harmony, how having a great voice isn’t important at all and how confidence is a matter of fake it till you make it. And most of all: you’ll have a lot of fun and gain a lot of energy and confidence!

This daycourse focusses on two things:  

• Hosting a show and explaining the formats to the audience 

• Interacting with the audience before and during improv games. 

Our audiences love being involved in our improv shows. For some games we interview them, in other games we invite them on stage.  

What will we be doing? 

Today we work on how we approach our audience. We’ll learn how to welcome the audience at the start of the show, how to set the mood, how to make a great run list, and how to present our variety of games to them. What do we explain, why, and how? Which games do we play, why, and in what sequence? How do you make people comfortable to answer questions or join us on stage? How do you create an interesting interview, what do you ask, how do you react? 

After this lesson, you’ll have a better understanding of what our audience wants and needs and how to give them the best experience in our improv shows.

Het doel van deze dag is om beter te leren presenteren en praten in het openbaar. De nadruk lig met name op stemgebruik en ademhaling vanuit de driepunten-techniek: houding, adem, stem. Deze drie facetten zijn onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden; is de houding verkrampt dan heeft dat directe invloed op de stem en ademhaling.
 
Wat gaan we doen?
Flow, aarden en kracht zijn de basiselementen. We leren over een ontspannen en open houding van sprekers. Vervolgens gaan we aan de slag met de voordracht van een tekst, met behulp van verschillende theatertools verkennen en maximaliseren we de koppeling tussen inhoud en overdracht.

This dance course is a vibrant fusion of Contemporary and African Street styles designed to help participants reclaim their confidence and express their inner selves through movement.
During this day, we will empower ourselves through dance, creating a safe and open space to build up confidence while allowing our body to express everything we carry inside. We aim to explore different tools and feelings that contemporary and West African Street dance styles, and other dance styles, offer us and apply them to our own movement.
 
What will we be doing?
We will focus on body awareness, grooves, steps, floor work, flexibility, musicality, routines, and freestyle. It’s about making us aware of all the power and beauty that lies in us and finding different ways to express and share.
 
Let’s vibe together! Let’s share who we are! Let’s connect!
