Drop in
*Free = Pay What You Thought It Was Worth. Suggested donation: €10-20. We appreciate that some can offer more than others, you are always welcome no matter what you can share. We use the donations for the rent of the training room and for the guest trainers who dedicate their Friday evening.
We come together on Fridays to play improv theatre in English. We are internationals (expats, students) and Dutch people who like to play in English. All levels are welcome. There is always a healthy mix of beginners and regular experienced players. Please sign up in [SignUpGenius: https://bit.ly/iudropinsignup](https://bit.ly/iudropinsignup)
We play games that you may know from"Whose line is it anyway?" and "De Lama's" alongside some more serious improv scenes too.
The trainers are organised by Marieke van Laar (info@theatersportworkshops.nl). Our regular trainers include professionals such as: Emma Holmes (IR), Steven Morgan (UK), Burgert Kirsten (SA), Guus de Ruiter (NL), Ramona Harrison (UK), Marieke Van Laar (NL)
