Improvisational theatre is a theatrical genre characterized by the absence of a prior script, using information provided by the public as inspiration for the creation and interpretation of the stories that we will see live.

What seems impossible and/or chaotic finds its coherence and meaning in the knowledge and training of the technique behind it.

The improvisers who come on stage do not know the content of what they are going to create, but they have the confidence to carry it out, thanks to teamwork, to the confidence in themselves and their colleagues, thanks to the knowledge of the technique and to elements as important in improvisational theatre as active listening, acceptance, error as an opportunity and the reduction of the pressure exerted by judgment.

Through this intensive weekend workshop, we will learn the basic principles of this theatrical discipline, how the creation of improvised scenes works, how to create characters, establish places and relationships, developing different social and professional skills in parallel without realizing it, through play and action, interpreting unforeseen situations, promoting mental agility, the development of your creativity and improving your communication skills through teamwork.

This intensive weekend workshop on improvisational theatre will give you a general overview of the discipline, showing you some of the tools we work with and that are perfectly applicable in any other performing discipline, in your work world (whatever you do) and in your daily life. Do you dare to take the leap into the unpredictable?
