What we’re about
The improv comedy community is such a positive part of Berlin's entertainment scene. We invite you to shows, courses & workshops at Berlin's newest improv theater at Haus Zwingli in Friedrichshain, so that you can stay connected to yourself and others through the power of improv.
We will announce events that feature short-form, long-form, and musical improv and keep you informed about improv events around the city.
This Meetup was initially founded by Chris Rock and then managed for some time by Brian Kapell. It is now organized by Andrew Rae (he/him) of ImprovWorks Berlin.

Prerequisites: none!ImprovWorks Berlin is excited to announce our next round of improv comedy courses! We truly believe that everyone can become confident and funny on stage.
Over 8 weekly classes, we explore the principles of comedic improvisation primarily through short-form games. Together, we create a conscious, supportive space where we focus on becoming good listeners, making spontaneous choices, and working together as a team. We’ll empower each other with the “Freedom to Fail,” thereby unleashing our inner creativity. The concepts of presence, agreement, trust, commitment and support are fostered through large and small group exercises.
We’ll also have a ton of fun and make new friends! In the end-of-class show, you’ll get to show off all you’ve learned to an invited audience of family and friends.

In this beginner's acting course, we introduce you to the tools needed to bring scripted theater to life. Working with a range of techniques, we aim to demystify acting and enable students to approach texts with a sense of wonder and play.
Together, we’ll create a conscious, supportive space where we’ll focus on bringing our own experience and imagination to the text, making strong choices, and working together with our scene partners.
We’ll empower each other with the “Freedom to Fail,” thereby unleashing our inner creativity. Over 8 classes, we’ll explore the principles of scripted acting primarily through two-person scene work. The concepts of presence, agreement, trust, commitment and support are fostered through large and small group exercises.
By the end of the class, you’ll be well-prepared to perform short two-person scenes. You'll also have a ton of fun and make new friends!
In the end-of-class show, you’ll get to show off all you’ve learned to an invited audience of family and friends.
