One-day Improv Theatre Workshop in English in Budapest
One-day improv theatre workshop in English held in Budapest instructed by Abel Farkas. No acting experience is required. The event is organised by Flow Theatre. The workshop is from 9:45-17:00 (with a lunchbreak in the middle)
Early Bird discount until the 31st of March.
Registration is required to participate, and the class is limited to 14 participants. Please register using the link below:
https://shop.flowszinhaz.hu/one-day-improv-theatre-workshop-with-abel-3/
Everybody has the ability to improvise. We do it in our everyday life. In theatre, others are watching us, and we feel we are required to perform well. This creates frustration within us and makes it difficult to act naturally. In improv, another obstacle is that we have no idea what our partner(s) will do and how we can create the connection between us. This uncertainty creates further frustration. During the workshops, we practice principles and methods which help us overcome and master these problems. The application of these methods go beyond theatre and could be useful in many areas of life, such as relationships, teamwork and communication.
Instructor:
Ábel Farkas, a reserach mathematician, magician and improv instructor. He has spent more than 10 years practicing improv theatre and studied it on three continents in English and Hungarian.
Venue:
Jurányi Produkciós Közösségi Inkubátorház, building A, at the end of the corridor on the 3rd floor (3. szint), the door on the left; the classroom of the Central European Irish Dance Academy (in Hungarian: Közép-Európai Ír Tánc Akadémia).
! Street shoes are not allowed in the rehearsal room. Instead, you may bring indoor shoes, slippers, socks or be barefoot. Comfortable clothes are recommended.
Schedule:
9:45-13:00 workshop
13:00-13:50 lunch break
13:50-17:00 workshop
After the workshop, we usually sit in the bar of Juranyi for a few drinks. All are very welcome!
Price:
Early Bird 16 500 HUF/person (if registered by 21st January)
Normal 19 800 HUF/person
The event is intended for adults, so we are only accepting registrations from adults.
In cases of tardiness or behavior that hinders or disrupts group work, participation may be denied. The decision is at the trainer's discretion. In such situations, we are unable to refund the participation fee.
After registration, the participation fee is non-refundable. Even if a participant is unable to attend, we are unable to issue a refund. In such cases, participation can be transferred to another person.
Egynapos Impró Színházi Workshop Ábellel
Egynapos impró színházi workshop Farkas Ábel vezetesével, a Flow Színház szervezésében. Semmilyen előképzettség vagy színházi ismeret nem szükséges. A workshop 9:45-től, 17:00-ig tart (közepén ebédszünettel).
Early bird jelentkezés Március 31-ig.
A részvétel regisztrációhoz kötött. A workshop maximum kapacitása 14 fő. Jelentkezés az alábbi linken:
https://shop.flowszinhaz.hu/egynapos-impro-szinhazi-workshop-3/
Mindenkiben megvan a képesség az improvizálásra, hiszen minden nap ezt tesszük. A színjátszásban egy lényeges nehezítő körülmény, hogy mások néznek minket, és úgy érezzük, elvárják, hogy alakítsunk valamit. Ez sok feszültséget szül bennünk, és megnehezíti, hogy természetesen viselkedjünk. Az impróban egy másik jelentős nehézség, hogy fogalmunk sincs, mit fog a társunk (társaink) csinálni, és ahhoz hogy kapcsolódjunk. Ez a bizonytalanség további frusztrációt kelt. A tréning során olyan irányelveket, technikákat gyakorlunk, melyek segítenek, hogy a fent említett nehézségeken úrrá legyünk. Ezen módszerek alkalmazása túlmutat a színjátszáson, és az élet más területein is hasznos, mint például a társas együttélés, csapatmunka és kommunikáció.
Tréner:
Farkas Ábel matematikus, bűvész és impró tréner. Több mint 10 éve foglalkozik impró szinhazzal, három kontinensen tanulta és gyakorolta angol és magyar nyelven. A Flow Szinház vezetője.
Helyszín:
Jurányi Produkciós Közösségi Inkubátorház, A epület 3. emelet (3. szint) folyosó végén balra, Közép-Európai Ír Tánc Akadémia terme

Időbeosztás:
9:45-13:00 Tréning
13:00-13:50 Ebédszünet
13:50-17:00 Tréning

City Lights (1931)
"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields
In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need.
Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture.
*City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
