Crafting YOUR format

We all heard and played numerous formats in improv, from Harold to Theatersports, through the Myth or Ghost of Love. But creating a new format can sometimes feel like climbing the Everest: a hard path with a lot of possibilities to get lost on the way. It can also be an unforgettable adventure that bonds you for life!

In this course, we will work as a selected group for 12 weeks over the entire creation process of a new improvised format. You will be guided through the exploration phase when you are still discovering each other. We will share and discuss what you find exciting, and how you can decide on a thread to pull on together, without diluting the flavour of your show. The classes and exercises will be crafted progressively around the group and the directions that are taken, while giving a strong frame for this process to come to a conclusion in the show at the end of the semester. After the 12 weeks, this group will be co-creators and owners of their brand new format!

Bring your notebooks, your ideas and your energy, leave your ego at home and enjoy the ride to crafting your own brand new format!

This course is open to applications with a downpayment of €25. This downpayment will be deducted from your fees if you are selected into the course, and entirely refunded otherwise. Only 10 participants will be selected.
