English Improv Jam Düsseldorf - STAGED!

Join us every second Monday for a dynamic English improv jam! For future events, workshops and hangouts, visit our website to stay up to date!

# 🎲 What do we do?

Each session includes a changing mix of games and formats, such as:
• Prompt-based scenes
• Freeze
• Change
• Character and impression prompts
• Emotion and genre switches
• Two-person and group scenes
• Rapid-fire reactions
• Classic short-form improv games
• New formats that we experiment with together
The exact games change every session, so each jam feels slightly different.
The style is partly inspired by Dropout’s Make Some Noise: quick prompts, unusual characters, bold choices and performers fully committing to whatever strange situation they are given.
STAGED! is not affiliated with Dropout.

# 💥 What is an improv jam?

An improv jam is a facilitated but informal session where people come together to create scenes without scripts or preparation.
You receive a prompt, step into the scene and discover what happens together.

# ⏱️ What does a session look like?

We begin with around 10 to 15 minutes of practical warm-ups focused on listening, reacting, movement and becoming comfortable with making quick choices.
After that, we move into short-form games and prompt-based scenes.
The pace is intentionally dynamic.

# 🌱 Is it beginner-friendly?

Yes. You do not need any previous acting, comedy or improv experience! Come and train your improv muscles.
This event is suitable for:
• Complete improv beginners
• Experienced improvisers looking for a regular jam
• Actors wanting to become more spontaneous
• Comedians interested in characters and scene work
• Expats, internationals and locals wanting to make new friends
The event is held entirely in English.
Because improvised scenes may sometimes include adult themes, the event is for people aged 18 and above.
