*Experiences in improv required*
The IICV and Sébastien Hansen presents an intermediate level improv workshop:
## Let the scene paint you
You may know this feeling: Our characters - clothed in imaginary grey nondescript clothing - are standing in a grey generic lifeless box, telling stories that somehow miss the spark of life. It all feels pale and lacks depth.
How great would it be to let the surroundings tell a story about our characters and give the audience a chance to immerse themselves deeply into the world we are opening for them?
During the workshop we will start looking into how the surroundings of our characters have an influence on what the audience will see, how they perceive our characters and the stories we tell. We will discover how a slight change in the description of our characters makes them much more complex and gives them a depth that we simply cannot reach if we only have them go through dia- and monologues.
We will use scene painting, character painting and some object work as tools to tell stories within stories.
The lovingly re-glued vase speaks volumes and shows its importance.
The slightly discoloured patch of wood on the floor has a history waiting to be discovered.
And why does Mary ALWAYS wear a dried white flower on her hat?
Lets find out together and give our worlds more color.

imdb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4724879/
the acting school in which he is an instructor: http://atre-ecole.com/wp/blog/2018/12/14/keith-farquhar-meisner/This class focuses on being truthful from moment to moment, using Sandford Meisners technique. Depending on your experience we start with a warm-up: basic repetition and 3-moments. With a solid foundation the class aims to guide you towards Point of View repetition. It is crucial to strengthen the basis of this work so it becomes habitual which will result in you seeing more on stage and adapting naturally to whatever happens.
This work should give you truthfulness and playfulness as a script or impro actor by working from moment to moment.
Within the class you will learn how to utilise techniques from Meisner, Chubbuck, Mamet, Johnstone, how to combine them and determine, what´s best for you! If you are already familiar with them we give you the chance to refine your work!Important to know:
The time of the classes vary between 18-21 and 11-14 o´clock and can be booked individually
What do we offer:
Foundation: If you are totally new to this technique and want to get to know what it's all about, then that is your class to choose!
Basic: This class takes you to the next step by focusing on repetition and 3-moment exercises. It is to refine your skills to see more of what's going on with your scene partner.
Advanced: If you are already trained with the exercises mentioned above and want to go further, then you should check in here. Our advanced classes will offer different topics throughout the course. Independently we will work on POV-repetition, tactics and actions and 3 days of independent activities. This is not a sequential schedule. You can sign up as you like.- Dezember 5 - Dezember 10 Acting Intensive - Perform on stage
Within six days of workshops we will work togeher to get you to your personal next level as an actor
