What weâre about
We surrender to so many shoulds and musts daily, and regardless of how much work we put into self discovery, we barely allow ourselves to showcase our full versions in the surrounding environments.
Well, let's do something about it, let's have a place where we can simply UNSCRIPT OURSELVES!
Through this workshop series, we look at three things:
- the art of being - striving towards showcasing a more complete version of ourselves
- the top of our minds - working on quick reactions, free your mind, noticing patters,
- the concept of comfort - enlarging what we are comfortable with, while at the same time having a place we can simply BE a little bit more than the norm.
The aim, you ask?
Formally said, over time, an increased ease of living.
The encouragement to add a little bit of conscious improvisational concepts that into your day to day life. "Conscious" because life doesn't have any script either, we're all making it up on the go, aren't we?
Otherwise, you take what you need out of these sessions, whether is new friends, reflective thoughts on your Strengths and NeedToWorkOns, a bucket of laughter, any & all.
We focus each session on a different element: whether is character-work, physicality, working with silence, speech, etc and have a dynamic format, moving a lot, interchanging between pair work & group work.
Creative minds and the like, you're very much welcomed! You need comfortable clothes and a smile on your face, the rest we have settled.
... and until we meet again, UNSCRIPT YOURSELVES!!!!
Upcoming events (3)
See all- MicroTheatre Workshop Series | EnglishErmekeilinitiative, Bonn
Can we condense a whole theatrical experience into 15 minutes?
Well, let's try!We wish to start a group endeavour with theatre enthusiasts who are interested in and willing to pursue a process of setting up a micro-play and bringing their creation into the world.
The format
The name already says a lot. A microtheater play is shorter in length but not necessarily less complex. However, there is something else: the limited, intimate space in which this kind of plays is staged. So how do we use this as an element for our stories? How do they affect the emotions and events that take place in them?The Series
Until September, we're organising a sequence of workshops that will focus on what we believe are the basics of a micro theatre play: a combination of storytelling, building up a character, elements of performance and more.The performance
During the group's yearly celebration for this group, we all meet on the morning of September 14 and form groups on the spot based on the scripts that Nena and I will bring. The groups will have 5-6 hours to prepare and will then perform twice in the same evening. đ We've had masterpieces being developed in significantly less time than that - we trust you! Event here: SAVE THE DATE | MicroTheatre Final PerformanceTime commitment
- 1 workshop per month with everybody and debriefing about the group processes: July - August - September
- Attendance in the final event September 14
Participation
The board of Ermekeilinitiative (our lovely hosts) has decided that the several groups meeting in the space should help cover the costs of running the space, which is fair, as we've been able to use it flexibly and effectively for so many years. Weâre therefore asking for a small donation of 2 EUR per person per event, though you are welcome to give more if youâd like. Every little bit helps with things like insurance, cleaning services, website maintenance, digital tools and so on. To make it easy, weâve put a piggy bank in the kitchen area where you can drop your donations.Some extra formalities for you
- Wear comfortable clothes for movement.
- This event will be fully in English.
And some things to be mindful of
- We aim to create a safe learning environment for everybody, where the spectrum of one's identity is recognized and valued.
- No sexism, racism, homophobia and the like get the space.
- We ask all participants to behave respectfully towards the group during and outside the workshop.
