Friday 20. March at 18:00 - 21:00

How to be a super happy improviser
Two improvisers walk on stage and start a scene. What happens? Conflict, discussions, fight, anger, negativity. Why is it so hard to start positively? And even harder to stay positive? Because we panic, we are afraid of not having enough. Instead of trusting in our characters, in their instincts of having a good time, we create negativity. And problems. And that's exactly the problem.
In this workshop, we will discover the joy of being positive, learn how to let the sun shine instead of creating a thunderstorm, and just be nice to each other. Because that's what we want to be, and that's what the audience wants to see.
Be a super happy person, be a super happy improviser. No conflicts in this workshop, I promise.
