Short course on Wednesday: Storytelling games and scenes Wednesdays 15 May- 19 June 19:00-21:00, Teacher Burgert Kirsten In our short improv courses we will work on 1 specific improv skill. Let's explore the world of storytelling by playing all kinds of story driven games and scenes. You will learn about the structure of any story, the role of the hero or the protagonist, the way stories evolve with a yes and structure and how to close the story.

Stories that matter

Course starts Wednesday 18 September. Let’s dive into stories and scenes that are more meaningful. We will be working on: the story spine, narrative structure, what happens next, stick to your character, making it matter, emotional change. We will play improv story games, and a lot of open scenes. The focus is on the story structure, but you will use other improv skills like characters, relationships, emotions and finding the game.
