Web Performance

When I moved to Barcelona, I worked long hours and somehow still couldn't find people to actually practice Spanish with. ​I tried courses. I tried Duolingo and Babbel. They all felt the same: awkward exercises about topics I didn't care about, completely disconnected from my real life. ​So I figured out my own method. It worked. I learned Spanish in 4 months, and I'm now accelerating my French, not in a classroom but by integrating the language into my daily life. ​That's exactly what I'm sharing in this free 1-hour session. ​**What you'll walk away with:** * ​Why traditional methods get you stuck at the intermediate level * ​The one thing that actually moves the needle (it's not more tutoring) * ​Daily practices you can start tomorrow - built around your life, not a textbook ​**Who's this for:** * ​You've been learning a language but got stuck somewhere between A2 and B2 * ​You want to actually use the language, not spend years chasing perfection * ​You're open to rethinking how you learn ​**Logistics:** We'll meet at Sandwichez to have a Coffee all together and talk about our language experience.

**[GRAB YOUR TICKETS ON OUR WEBSITE](www.barcelonaimprovgroup.com/shows)** In Undertone, two performers step onto an empty stage with no script, no premise, and no plan - only each other. Together, they create improvised scenes driven by presence, relationship, and what lies beneath the words. Without games or format, Undertone explores subtext, silence, and the subtle dynamics that shape human connection. Each performance is a unique encounter - simple, immediate, and deeply human.

**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** **[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)** **[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen.

# Join Canada's Hayley Kellett for a fun, high-energy improv weekend! Create great characters and connect in your scenes. All levels welcome! ## Overview A deep dive into the art of connection, authenticity, and character legacy. We’ll master the intimacy of the two-person scene before expanding into a world of recurring characters in a classic longform format. ## Workshop Overview Join guest teacher, Second City's **[Hayley Kellett](https://www.secondcity.com/people/hayley-kellett-2 "https://www.secondcity.com/people/hayley-kellett-2")** as she brings her high-energy, supportive expertise to Barcelona for a full-day intensive! We will split our weekend between two core pillars of theatrical improv. First, we’ll tackle the "Two-Hander," focusing on the quiet power of truth and connection. Then, we’ll shift gears into character creation, learning how to build distinct, memorable "people" that can inhabit the interconnected world of a La Ronde. Whether you are looking to ground your scenes in reality or find more joy in character play, this workshop provides a toolkit for sustainable, fearless improvisation. ### Saturday – The Heart of the Matter: Two-Hander Scenework In this session, we strip away the noise and focus on the person standing right in front of you. You’ll learn strategies to slow down, breathe, and find the "truth of the moment." By prioritizing connection over "bits," you’ll discover how authentic emotional offers can lift a scene higher than any pre-planned joke ever could. ### Sunday – People & Patterns: Character & La Ronde Spend the day building a "closet" of characters you can step into at a moment's notice. We’ll focus on physical and vocal development before applying these skills to **La Ronde**—a classic longform format that is accessible to all skill levels. You’ll explore how characters evolve when they interact with different partners, creating a rich, rotating tapestry of stories. ## Agenda **(Each workshop is a delicious 6 hours: 11:00–18:00 with a 1 hour lunch break)** **Saturday:** * **10:45:** Arrivals * **11:00–14:00:** Morning Session: Two-Handers & Truth Part 1 * **14:00–15:00:** Lunch Break\* * **15:00–18:00:** Afternoon Session: Two-Handers & Truth Part 2 **Sunday:** * **10:45:** Arrivals * **11:00–14:00:** Morning Session: Character & La Ronde Part 1 * **14:00–15:00:** Lunch Break\* * **15:00–18:00:** Afternoon Session: Character & La Ronde Part 2 *\*You can bring your own lunch, order in, or grab something nearby.

They are a co-founder of **The Making-Box** in Ontario, where they use applied improvisation to help organizations—from Google to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Shopify, and universities across the country—become more adaptable and imaginative. Beyond their work with companies, Hayley passionately volunteers to bring improv into women’s prisons, community groups, and programs for adults with developmental exceptionalities. A Second City Tour Co. alum and longtime Canadian performer, Hayley has understudied six Second City Mainstage shows, toured internationally from Alaska to South India, served as President of the Guelph Comedy Festival for a decade, and earned recognition including: * **Guelph Top 40 Under 40 (2017)** * **Canadian Comedy Award Nominee (2015)** * **YMCA-YWCA Woman of Distinction (2018)** * **Guelph LGBT2QI+ Community Award Nominee** Career milestone: once performing a Halloween Hoedown with Colin Mochrie — and yes, it was as delightfully bonkers as it sounds.
