Foundations in Improvised Theatre – Workshop Series
3 Fridays from 19:00 to 22:00 – with Gael
In this course for actors, artists and people with some stage experience, you will go through the basics of improvisation, deepening the work on stories, characters, space object and collaboration on stage. A course to introduce you or re-introduce you to improv.
SOLD OUT – Visual improv for Advanced Players – SOLD OUT
Mondays from 20:25 to 21:55 – with Gael
You already have some experience in improv but you want to explore your body more on stage? You have seen some improvised pieces (the Fraltons, Speechless, Just Play, etc.) and you would like to learn how to improvise with less to no words?
This semester will dig into a challenging form of improv: speechless narrative longform.
Elite Advanced Class – Gael Uncensored
Mondays from 18:50 to 20:20 – with Gael
This workshop set on scenework is aimed for anyone that would like to explore my world, my value system, and my beliefs without restriction. It might be rough, it might be soft, but it will definitely be honest. No absolute truth in this course, only pure and vulnerable Gael’s mind.
Elite Genre Class – Zombie Movie
Mondays from 18:50 to 20:20 – with Gael
Based on the work done with the main cast of Flock Theatre in 2020, a small group of engaged players will work for 6 weeks toward a show in the genre of a zombie movie.
Join Skin Hunger for some action, some emotion and a lot of thrill!
SOLD OUT – Ghost of Love – the ghost part – SOLD OUT
Tuesdays from 18:50 to 20:20 – with Laura
What is told, without being said? What story is read between the lines? How do we create layers in scenes by adding humour, story and gut punching emotion?
The scenes that audiences remember are those that made them feel something. In this course, you will learn how staging, movement, sound and space can create actual unforgettable scenes.

Daarnaast gaan we aan de slag met Shakespeare: de mooie teksten uit Romeo & Julia of de vette personages uit MacBeth.
Het beste van 2 werelden, kortom!

Improvisatietheater – Personages
Maandag van 18.45 – 20:15u – met Laura
Leren improviseren is behalve heel leuk, ook écht leerzaam. Elke week krijg je verrassende oefeningen waar je vaardigheden oefent zoals: in het moment reageren, creativiteit denken en je plan loslaten.
We gaan aan de slag met personages: dicht bij jezelf, meer uitgesproken karakters, in tekst, in stem en in je lijf.
Theater & Kunst: iedereen kan het
Dinsdag van 20:00 – 21:30u – met Anca

We gaan aan de slag met verhalen: pakkend vertellen, verhaallijnen bouwen, verrassende wendingen, en storytelling technieken.
