Improv

A deep dive into acceptance, presence, trust & listening in your improv. We'll then begin to explore improv in blackout! ### **Workshop Overview** Join [Eagerly Waiting](https://eagerlywaitinggb.wixsite.com/eagerly-waiting---a/about "https://eagerlywaitinggb.wixsite.com/eagerly-waiting---a/about")'s guest teachers Maro & Gabriel as they bring 2 unique workshops to Barcelona! We'll spend the majority of our time on topic 1, acceptance. We'll go far beyond "yes and" to accept ourselves and our partners. We'll look at impulse, emotions & identiy. Time permitting, we will spend 60-90 minutes on improv in blackout. If the group prefer to keep to topic 1, or do more on improv in the dark, we'll shift - let's be flexible & have a great time! **Part 1 – I am not afraid to exist: Radical Acceptance** This workshop dives deep into the "radical act of acceptance," moving beyond basic mechanics to help performers embrace their own impulses and their partners' identities. Through exercises in presence and trust, you’ll discover how honoring boundaries and practicing self-acceptance creates a foundation for fearless, authentic, and sustainable play. **Part 2 – Improv in Blackout** In this hands-on workshop, participants perform in total darkness to build scenes and characters using only vocal expression, foley, and live music. By stripping away visual cues, you’ll sharpen your listening skills and learn to construct rich, immersive narratives inspired by the world of audio drama and podcasts. **Agenda** (Each workshop is 5.5 hours: 12:00-18:00 with a 30-min lunch break): **Saturday:** * 11:45 arrivals * 12:00-14:00 morning session * 14:30-15:00 lunch break\* * 15:00-18:00 afternoon session \*You can bring your own lunch, order in, or grab something nearby. There is a refrigerator on site. Note the quick turnaround for lunch and plan accordingly. ### 🧘 **How to Show Up** * **Arrive early:** please plan to arrive 10 minutes before class so we can start and end on time. * **Dress comfortably:** wear movement-friendly clothes that cover you fully (we’ll be moving throughout the space). * **Bring water:** a reusable water bottle is encouraged — hydration fuels creativity! ### 🎟️ **Prerequisites** This class is open to all. **Ages 16 and up.** ### 👩‍🏫 **About Maro Lesioti (she/her)** Maro Lesioti is an actress, improviser, director, and educator trained at the Hellenic Conservatory, Modern Times Drama School, and LAMDA, working internationally across performance, teaching, and devised theatre.

Join us every other Sunday for the Open Clown Workshop at The Comedy Clubhouse Barcelona. Whether you’re an experienced clown wanting to exercise your clowning muscles or a complete beginner full of curiosity this workshop is for you. Sessions will usually focus on one particular aspect of clown for example: bafflement, befriending uncertainty, staying curious, freedom in failure, connecting with your pleasure, finding the game, eye contact with the audience. Our usual workshop teachers are experienced clowns who perform regularly in Barcelona and around the world. They have either trained with the legendary clown master Philipe Gaulier; performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; organised their own cabaret shows; or have experience of developing clown numbers elsewhere. While every teacher has different strengths and exercises they’ll share, each workshop is designed to inspire you and help develop your skills as a comedic performer. This is a great place to meet new people, play games, have fun & learn new skills! The session lasts from 15.00 until 17:30 and it operates as a Pay What You Want workshop (suggested donation between 5 and 15 euros). It takes place at the Comedy Clubhouse on Via Laietana (be careful because there are two Comedy Clubhouses! It does not take place at the one on Carrer Canvis Nous!)

**TORNEM A LA CIUTADELLA!!** **NO us equivoqueu de lloc!** **[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** **[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)** **[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda(a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
