5110727: FU_Intensive training improvisation: exploring and developing personal and professional potential

Beschreibung

Improvisational theatre is a very fast and spontaneous way of playing theatre. The performers must work together; they make suggestions and accept other's offers; they lead and are being led; and they take over responsibility in order to tell a collective story on stage.
Improvisation on stage and in life is a technique that can be learned. It is inspiring and useful for creativity, communication, collaboration and teamwork. Improvisation cultivates interpersonal skills, you are required to think on your feet, to rapidly make decisions and to be in the moment. Practicing improvisation helps to build all of these skills, so that you can explore and develop your personal and professional potential, plus it is fun!

In this workshop we will work on the following issues:

• Teamwork: the yes and… principle
• Flexibility and spontaneity: handling of unexpected and unknown situations
• Creativity: bring in your own ideas and let them go to find collective solutions as a team
• Leadership: to lead and to be led
• Roleplay: change perspectives, explore and take over new roles
• Thoughtfulness and Concentration: the "here and now" principle
• Mistakes: make them, feel more comfortable with them and learn from them
