This workshop will be taught in English.
I aim to explore different types of improvisation method and define them along with the group. Methods that bridge the gap between the first idea, notion or theme and the movement. How can we create? How can we direct spontaneous movement? In this investigation, I want to share my favourite improvisation games, assignments and explorations, the ones I often use.
