TBC Improv Spain

Join Eagerly Waiting'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.
