Tilt Workshop: Stefan Pagels Andersen (DNK) - The ICC Theatre long-form structure “The Mono scene”

The award-winning improv team Meanwhile, Back at the Lab, that Stefan performs in have their very own unique format. The Mono scene with quick flashbacks to discover the characters background stories. This is a real treat to watch and even more fun to perform. This format requires a lot from the improvisers to also be aware of the bigger picture of
the whole story. Improvisers are expected to have a certain amount of stage experience.

Level: advanced.
