Mastering Tragi-Comedy: Workshop

Saturday 14. March at 14:00 - 16:30

FAMEUS, Antwerpen

Mastering TragiComedy: The Fine Line Between Laughter and Pain.

This playful workshop dives into the fine line between comedy and heartbreak - inspired by the darkly funny world of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's award-winning TV series, Fleabag. We'll explore how confession, tension and stillness create moments that are both hilarious and human. Through practical exercises and scene work, you'll discover how silence, rhythm and vulnerability can turn pain into laughter - and laughter into connection. Expect a fast-paced, reflective and joyful session that celebrates the messy beauty of tragicomedy! 

Bring a notepad and pen!
