Drop in Improv Lessons Every Friday evening

Join our weekly drop in improv lessons every Friday evening, except during the summer and Christmas holidays. These sessions are open to everyone, whether you are completely new to improv or already have experience.

Each evening is playful, social, and welcoming. You will play fun improv games, learn core principles of improvisation, and connect with a friendly, open minded group of people. Many participants come alone, so it is an easy and relaxed way to meet others.

After the lesson, people usually head together to De Hondekop pub nearby for a drink and a chat.

Location Buurtcentrum De De Speler, Thorbeckelaan 18. You can enter together with the group between 19:50 and 20:00.
Time 20:00 to 22:00.
Pay what you can €10, €15, €20, or €1, depending on your finances.

to be planned: Stage Lighting

Lights And...Scene: Introduction to Improv Lighting Design You can't do Improv in the dark....well you can, but this isn't a workshop on "The Bat" Longform. Tech can feel intimidating, especially when you don't know when the scene is supposed to end. However a good lighting technician can be an additional member of an improv team, adding emotion, and fun to scenes onstage. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify which channels connect to which lighting instruments, and how to create specific looks for improvised scenes. This will be focused on Villa Concordia's lighting setup, but can be transferred to any space with a few tweaks. You will also practice pulling the lights on scenic buttons or endings. Expand your toolbox and become a true utility player in the comedy world.

For intermediate/advanced participants.

to be planned: Improv Your Dutch Workshop

Improv Your Dutch uses improvisation to help you feel more comfortable speaking Dutch. In improv, mistakes are welcome and even celebrated. You are encouraged to be playful, silly, and relaxed, which makes it an ideal way to practise a new language.

The workshop focuses on building confidence, reducing fear of failure, and enjoying the process of learning. It is led by Jenny Hasenack, improv teacher, scientist, and language enthusiast.

Weekend workshop 10:00 to 13:00

Improv for Life Weekend Workshop 2
