🎉 Welcome to this more advanced workshop,if you are a member of Impro Neuf 🎉
Improvisational theatre, or improv, is unscripted and spontaneous—an art form where every scene is created in the moment. It’s a blend of fun, creativity, and teamwork that often leads to laughter without even trying!
✨ Workshop Focus
We will use techniques from the Mockumentary genre to create characters with a combination of absurd and realistic qualities, and play with genre tropes like talking to the camera, monologues and duologues, escalating realistic premises, and keeping a deadpan, serious tone while the world grows increasingly absurd. This workshop is based on Chris Meads Mocumentary Now workshop from Oslo Impro Festival 2024
18:00 at Betong, Chateau Neuf
As it happens, a lot of workshops at the festival is selling out. If you dont plan on a 3 week long improv break in October - hurry and get your spots now! https://www.osloimprofestival.com/booking
